Melania Trump urges lasting Ukraine truce at White House meeting

US First Lady Melania Trump called for a more enduring ceasefire in Ukraine as she hosted Russian and Ukrainian delegations at the White House. The meeting followed a six-day truce in the Kherson region that let hundreds of residents of Russian-occupied Oleshky evacuate. Both Moscow and Kyiv credited her with brokering the pause, and Ukraine awarded her a state honour.
