Melania Trump hosting Ukraine, Russia representatives at White House

First lady Melania Trump will be hosting representatives from Russia and Ukraine at the White House, according to a Tuesday press release.

The announcement comes after the first lady secured a localized ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine in the front-line city of Oleshky earlier this month.

“First Lady Melania Trump will personally bring representatives of Russia and Ukraine, two nations actively at war, together at the White House,” the release said. “This event represents an extraordinary moment in American history.”

The first lady is also scheduled to deliver remarks on the Oleshky ceasefire on Thursday at the White House, per the release.

The temporary pause in conflict, which started at 3 a.m. local time on Oct. 27, was set to last through Oct. 31 to allow for the delivery of humanitarian aid. It was originally set to begin on Oct. 29.
