Melania Trump will bring together representatives of Russia and Ukraine at the White House after promoting a humanitarian truce

The First Lady of the United States, Melania Trump, will receive representatives of Russia and Ukraine at the White House next Thursday, November 5, in a diplomatic initiative that the Donald Trump administration described as an extraordinary event. The call comes after the wife of the American president intervened in the negotiations that allowed the establishment of a humanitarian truce in the Ukrainian town of Oleshky

.

The announcement was released Tuesday by the White House, which highlighted that Melania acted independently to open communication channels between the two opposing countries. According to the official statement, his intervention made it possible to reach an agreement to temporarily suspend hostilities in and around Oleshky, in the Kherson region of southern Ukraine

.

Melania Trump will also offer public statements on Thursday at 11 in the morning, Eastern Time in the United States, to refer specifically to the ceasefire. The call will take place at a time when Washington is trying to sustain diplomatic channels between Moscow and Kiev, while preparing new

trilateral talks.

The immediate precedent of the meeting was the temporary agreement reached to facilitate the delivery of aid and the evacuation of residents of Oleshky, a city located on the eastern bank of the Dnieper River and under Russian control since the first months of the invasion of 2022.

The truce began on October 27 and lasted until November 1. During this period, evacuation operations were organized with buses and ambulances. More than 750 civilians were transferred to safe areas, while humanitarian organizations collaborated with the assistance of those who left the

town.

The Human Rights Commissioner of Ukraine, Dmytro Lubinets, confirmed that the cessation of hostilities had been maintained for the first 75 hours with no recorded violations by the parties.

The operation also involved the participation of Russian and Ukrainian civilian representatives.

Melania's intervention joins other attempts at mediation promoted by Washington since the return of Donald Trump to the presidency. The first lady had already maintained contacts related to the return of Ukrainian children transferred to Russia during the conflict

.

The new meeting will take place a few days before the trilateral talks scheduled in Abu Dhabi between the United States, Russia and Ukraine, scheduled for November 10 and 11, according to the international press.
