Washington -- U.S. First Lady Melania Trump, wife of President Donald Trump, announced on Tuesday that a limited ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine has entered into force. In a post on her X account, Melania said, “The ceasefire between Ukraine and Russia entered into force at 00:04 Moscow time today, October 27.” She explained that the start of the ceasefire was advanced by two days from the previously scheduled date in order to protect civilians and facilitate the delivery of urgent humanitarian aid. She added that the geographic scope of the ceasefire was expanded to include areas beyond the city of Oleshky in Kherson Oblast, ensuring safe passage for humanitarian convoys. She noted that General Valery Vasilyevich, Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, confirmed the commencement of the ceasefire. Melania Trump led talks with civilian negotiators from Russia and Ukraine to reach a truce between the two sides. Last Friday, Melania had announced that she had worked with the Ukrainian and Russian leadership to achieve the local ceasefire in her capacity as the “sole mediator.” (End) A.M.M. / M.M.J.
