US-brokered ceasefire holds in Oleshky as humanitarian crisis grips occupied Ukrainian town
A localized ceasefire appeared to be holding around the Russian-occupied Ukrainian town of Oleshky on Tuesday, aimed at allowing humanitarian aid to reach residents who have faced acute shortages of food, water and medicine after more than four years of occupation. The truce, which both sides reported no violations of, was brokered with US involvement, though competing claims emerged over whether First Lady Melania Trump or Pope Leo played the key diplomatic role.
