Melania Trump Announces Truce in Ukraine’s Oleshky Amid Conflicting Start Dates

US First Lady Melania Trump announced Friday that a ceasefire had been secured in the Ukrainian city of Oleshky to allow aid deliveries and the evacuation of residents.

The truce is intended to provide a pause in fighting so humanitarian supplies can enter the city and people can leave.

However, Moscow set the start of the ceasefire two days earlier than the date announced by the White House, leaving conflicting timelines for the planned pause.

The differing announcements leave the start date unclear, even as the ceasefire’s stated purpose is to facilitate humanitarian access and evacuations.
