Melania Trump to host Russian and Ukrainian officials at the White House Thursday on Kherson ceasefire

FACTS

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.

Separately, the Kremlin confirmed Putin aide Vladimir Medinsky will lead Russia's delegation at U.S.-mediated talks in Abu Dhabi on Nov. 10-11, and said it hopes to finalize plans for a Putin-Trump-Xi meeting, CNBC reported.
