First lady Melania Trump will bring Russian and Ukrainian representatives to the White House to discuss a local ceasefire in the Kherson region, the White House said Tuesday, calling it "an extraordinary moment in American history." She will speak on the ceasefire at 11 a.m. ET Thursday; the attendees were not named.
The White House says she brokered the six-day ceasefire in Russian-occupied Oleshky that ended Monday and allowed residents to evacuate. Ukraine accused Russia of using the pause to reinforce its positions.
