Russia and Ukraine agree local ceasefire in occupied Oleshky

The White House said Melania Trump brokered a localized ceasefire in the Russian-occupied Ukrainian town of Oleshky, set to begin on October 29 to allow aid deliveries and civilian evacuations. Non-military teams from both sides will visit residents and arrange transport to Russia or Ukraine; residents have reportedly been eating weeds to survive. The Kremlin confirmed the deal and said the militaries were working out timing, and CBC reported Pope Leo was also involved.
