How Melania Trump became an unlikely peace broker, amid doubts it'll last
The six-day ceasefire in Russian-occupied Oleshky enabled humanitarian deliveries and the evacuation of approximately 800 people, according to Melania Trump. However, the extent of her role remains contested. While the White House credits her with brokering the agreement, SBS reports that Russian and Ukrainian intelligence services had already spent months negotiating the operation. The local truce did not produce a wider ceasefire.
