The White House office of The First Lady, Melania Trump, has made a significant announcement about a humanitarian ceasefire in the Southern Ukraine city of Oleshky.
Oleshky is located in southern Ukraine, directly across from the Dnipro River in Kherson. Before the war, roughly 24,000 people lived in Oleshky. Today, an estimated 1700-2000 residents remain, primarily older people who have been unable to leave, along with approximately 50 children. There has not been a formal demographic count in Oleshky since 2022. Since the war began, the city has remained on the front line, with much of its population displaced or evacuated. Following the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam, approximately 90 percent of the city’s territory was flooded.
White House – First Lady Melania Trump successfully secured a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine, localized to the city of Oleshky. Both nations agreed to temporarily stop all military action in Oleshky to allow for humanitarian aid to enter and to prepare a civilian evacuation through a designated safe passageway.
The localized ceasefire will begin on October 29, 2026.
“The situation in Oleshky is dire. Oleshky is a front-line war city on the brink of disaster. Oleshky’s remaining population is comprised primarily of elderly residents who urgently need medical attention, medicine, food, and clean water,” said First Lady Melania Trump. “The people of Oleshky have limited electricity, live amid mined roads, and endure regular military attacks. It was abundantly clear that without my intervention, the possibility to bring humanitarian aid into the city and to evacuate the elderly would be impossible.”
First Lady Melania Trump and her representative worked directly with Russian and Ukrainian leadership to define the terms of the localized ceasefire. The First Lady initiated discussions with both nations and aligned the parties on the agreement’s objectives, technical procedures, timing, processes, and terms, in her formal role as Exclusive Intermediary.
“Non-military, civilian leaders from both countries will work together to visit Oleshky residents in their homes and determine the level of assistance they require. Residents who wish to evacuate will receive coordinated support and transportation to their preferred destination. I anticipate some will want to go to Russia, and some to Ukraine,” said First Lady Melania Trump.
The First Lady continued, “I have also secured an impartial American media organization to accompany and document Russian and Ukrainian teams on the ground throughout the process. This will play a significant role in ensuring that the wishes of each family are faithfully respected.”
The exigent circumstances of Oleshky came to First Lady Melania Trump’s attention during a private discussion at her Fostering the Future Together event in New York City during the 81st United Nations General Assembly.
“My representative and I immediately leveraged the communication channel we established with Russia and Ukraine through the previous six reunifications of 34 children. Both nations promptly assigned teams to coordinate the complex mechanics involved, including demining. All parties have worked around the clock since that moment,” explained First Lady Melania Trump.” (source)
WASHINGTON (AP) — Ukraine’s top negotiator involved in a humanitarian mission led by U.S. first lady Melania Trump told The Associated Press late Friday that a local ceasefire with Russia will start Oct. 27 — two days before the mission begins — and last several days.
Ukrainian, Russian and U.S. negotiators reached a deal Friday to provide humanitarian assistance in the Russian-occupied town of Oleshky, in the war-divided region of Kherson in southern Ukraine.
Dmytro Lubinets, the Ukrainian ombudsman and his country’s chief negotiator in the talks, said the ceasefire would take effect across the Kherson region and neighboring areas essential to the operation. He added that the initiative could act as a model for future humanitarian missions. (source)
Excellent! She’s such a gift!
The beauty that shines from her shines on those she really wants to help. God bless our beautiful, kind, brilliant First Lady. Thank you, dear Melania. We are blessed to have you.
Amen!
Several Blessings in this administration…
Melania, Tulsi, Rubio ….etc. And more!
That’s how you use “prestige,” something a democrat wouldn’t know about.
Greatest First Lady ever!!
YOU BET!
She asked….
Who could deny her?
She’s nothing but 100% class and grace
She was born and grew up in Slovenia, where regional powder kegs have erupted. She knows of and understands the horrors of war. And the desperate needs of civilians caught up in it through no fault of their own.
Her successful efforts come from this knowledge I suspect, dear sir.
She has such a big heart, and the great good fortune of being in a position of influence to help.
Are we in any way surprised?
We shouldn’t be…
I suspect that with POTUS so busy she has made sure that Baron is well educated, balanced, and loved, as well as her caring about all children.
She is so refreshing after being exposed to Hillary, Barbara B, and Jill. All such bitter pills.
Not to mention Michelle.
Truth.
👏 👏 🥰 👏
Nothing like pure elegance in action.
Thank God.
She does amazing things behind the scenes without any fanfare. What a beautiful human being.
Exactly right!
Melania exhibits quiet grace, subdued elegance and sophistication, radiant beauty and a sharp intellect. She doesn’t have to jump and shout to draw attention to herself. She just quietly glows with these attributes.
Compare to Dr. Jill and Big Mike.
On second thought, maybe don’t compare them. There is no comparison.
Well…Melania never had to try for attention being as incredibly gorgeous as she is. I’ve seen photos of her the made e wonder how can she be real.
The surprise is that she’s got real substance and doesn’t just rely on her beauty.
Oh man !! The libtard heads will EXPLODE if this actually happens !!!
I remember back when Jill Biden did the same thing! S/off
Dressed in a tablecloth
Tablecloth? I thought those were the old drab draperies from the parlor!
That was Michelle Obama. After she left the White House, the staff noticed one of the draperies was missing from the Red Room 😉
Yes, I do believe Jill was the one dressed as a skank in fish net stockings and a fairly short skirt. Trashy.
Was that before or after Hag & Bubba took the china?
Ahhh, Michelle all the style and utility of something one would find at a tractor pull.
Quite the insult to viewers of tractor pulls !!!
Big Mike was conflicted about his/her wardrobe choices.
Yes, boxers or briefs. 😂
Such a tough decision!

Jealousy, Envy and Spite are much of what motivates the Dems.
Please be reminded that it was Ukraine that purposefully destroyed the Kakhovka Dam.
The Kakhovka Dam was a 30 m‑high, 3.2 km‑long earth‑fill embankment dam that provided electric power (Kakhovka Hydroelectric Power Plant) and irrigation as well as a deep channel for shipping.
It was blown by the Ukraine on June 6, 2023 while the damn was under Russian control; Russia was blamed in the media.
The 85 meter long breach let loose tons of water while the reservoir was at a 30 year high causing devastating flooding, killing hundreds of people, and raising the water level in Kherson to about 5.6 meters.
The Kakhovka Dam was a key infrastructure and energy asset, and like the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant was targeted by the Ukraine.
0.o
Maybe now more will understand who blew up their own dam.
“On the morning of June 6, water began to flow uncontrollably down the Dnipro River after the Kakhovka dam in the Russian-occupied part of Ukraine’s Kherson region was destroyed. Kyiv says the Russian military blew up the dam. Moscow, on the other hand, blames “Ukrainian military groups.” Meanwhile, some open-source intelligence analysts suggest that the dam may have collapsed on its own due to “unprecedentedly high” levels of water in the reservoir.”

It’s difficult to imagine Ukraine causing this kind of disaster that would injure and kill so many of their own. And it’s important to remember always, despite the general view on CTH, Russia invaded Ukraine. Ukraine is defending itself from a foreign nation that intends to destroy it.
The dam (that had been holding since 1956) didn’t collapse on its own; it was blown by the Ukraine.
Nice try with your propaganda.
Now, run along.

There is no evidence that Ukraine did this. Both Russia and Ukraine are accusing each other so there is no basis for stating that Ukraine did this. In fact, the evidence points at Russia. This article highlights that completing a proper investigation is not possible because investigators are not allowed to access the Russia controlled side of the region.

The New York Times and newspapers in the Ukraine also blamed Russia.
Imagine that.

I liked your comment but the USS Liberty was a clearly U.S. flagged naval warship that was treacherously attacked by Israeli forces. That treacherous attack killed many U.S. Navy sailors and was not a false flag.
It’s them Jews agan! I thought this thread was about Mrs. Trump, a cease fire, Russia and Ukraine. ??? Not a Jew in sight.

This is weird. I love Melania, but it reeks of photo op, and opens them up to criticism of the worst kind. So Trumps going to push her for the Nobel prize now? Like I said, weird.
No-it’s not weird at all.
What you said was weird, though.
It sounds like something Karl Rove would say. Are you Karl Rove?
See if Mike wheels out a whiteboard, then we’ll know for sure.
There is a lot of ASSumption in your statement
What a weird thing to say.
In the voice of Monty Pytonese, “What a strange person”.

Weird that anyone would slink up in here and be critical of Miss Melania when she’s going above and beyond, trying to do something nobody else bothered to step up to do.
Like I said, weird.
WEIRD.

And just so you know, Miss Melania has been working on this (as well as other important humanitarian efforts) since the SMO started, almost all of it kept on the down-low so assholes wouldn’t crawl out of the woodwork to create sabotage or peck around the internet spreading unwarranted criticism.

Saving lives is weird? How does that open them up for criticism? And if so, from who? Zelenskyy?
What a very weird reaction to the First Lady of the USA and her accomplishment to secure the safety of people trapped in a war zone.
I would say you, sir, are weird!
Have a nice day!
“I love Melania, but . . .”
Yeah, sure.
The victims of TDS always give themselves away. Stupid is as stupid does.
MH, they have already been exposed to criticism of the worst kind! So if they are indeed criticized over such a humanitarian gesture, surely that criticism would rebound to those who speak ill?
Missed your TDS meds again didn’t you? You can’t hide it you know. Funny as ….Well! (I always get my W’s and H’s mixed up)
This is weird?
How about you are weird.
Yup that damn just got destroyed. All by itself. Yeah no, the green goblin took out the damn adverse to his own Ukrainian people. Didn’t care if they got flooded or not.
When the water in the reservoir went through the dam breach, it flooded 4 Oblasts, not just Kherson.

Damn dam?
How long before the democrats start lawfare to demand she not be allowed to have a win claiming it is an attempt to influence the mid terms?
I can’t believe Melania didn’t hold up a cardboard sign with the #bringbackourgirls.
How dare she.
Melania doesn’t jump onto bandwagons. The bandwagons wish they could jump onto her (but they can never jump that high.)
Great comparison!

Our beautiful First Lady got the job done.
If there’s a better illustration of real life conservatism vs real life leftism, I don’t know what it is.

How many languages do Dr. Jill and Mo speak?
It depends on whether you count four letter words and ebonics as different languages.

I remember one of those obnoxious women’s rag mags had a picture on its cover in Jan/Feb 2021 with a picture of “Dr” Jill that said—Fashion is back at the White House, what clowns.
Good grief!!

When you look up First Lady of the United States this is what you want to see.
Melania Trump is the most authentic and graceful first lady of my lifetime. When she is with children it shows in her eyes and her facial expression how much she cares for their welfare.
Now Al Sharpton will have to add Melania to his investigations of all things Trump.
A great humanitarian accomplishment by the First Lady.
Another voice interceding for the ceasefire and humanitarian aid was Pope Leo XIV.
He called Putin:
His Holiness Pope Leo XIV spoke by telephone with His Excellency Mr Vladimir Putin, President of the Russian Federation.
During the conversation, the Holy Father expressed his deep concern about the grave humanitarian situation in the city of Oleshky, in the Kherson region, and called for a ceasefire to allow the delivery of food and medical assistance, and the voluntary and safe evacuation of the civilian population.
Finally, the Holy Father reaffirmed the Holy See’s commitment to promoting dialogue and peace.

And he called Z:
“…We also discussed the humanitarian catastrophe in temporarily occupied Oleshky. We are working to help our people there. We are preparing decisions. His Holiness informed me about contacts with the Russian side on this matter.”
Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський on X: “I spoke with Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex and wished His Holiness a full and speedy recovery following his surgery. We are grateful that even during this difficult time for him personally, His Holiness remembers Ukraine and prays for our people. I briefe… / X
Yes indeed. The way I understand it, both Melania and the Pope made their requests. The sense is that there was some behind the scenes discussion between the parties. Rubio was also involved.
Now as expected, the media is pushing the narrative that Melania stole the Pope’s thunder so to speak. They just cannot leave well enough alone.
great first lady ever,
What an amazingly good thing to do. First Lady Melania Trump, we salute your efforts.
Lovely First Lady.
She is sincere and this comes from the heart – not for political points.
This is a big deal. Yet, even GatewayPundit does not carry it!
we have some very “spiritual” people in this site. Melania is speaking up, and exposing her spiritual side, and it must be “very scary” for her to do this. Congrates to Melania for. doing this. Trump protects her like a LION, … and Melania maybe told President Trump she had to speak up about this. I’m sure President Trump understands how important this is for Melania. Melania is facing one of her “deepest fears” she has hidden since her childhood. Respect to Melania.
She is an amazing person and I am so glad she is on our side.
I had to look it up to find out why Oleshky, in particular, would get this attention. Russia captured Oleshky back in 2022 and have held it ever since, and used that fortification as a seige base against the bigger city of Kherson, right across the Dnieper river to the west.
They’re giving the remaining civilian stragglers a chance to clear-out if they want to while Russian forces replenish & reinforce. Afterward, the plan is to “freeze” the war where it is, right? In time, this “freeze” will probably define the new borders. I expect Oleshky to become an official part of Russia, while Kherson will remain Ukraine. The Dnieper river will act as a border. I’m no geopolitical specialist, but that’s what I think is happening.
The annexation of Kherson occurred after a referendum vote on September 23-27, 2022, which means the Kherson Oblast (as well as the Oblasts of Donetsk, Luhansk, and Zaporozhzhia) is part of the Russian Federation.
Residents of these oblasts vote in Russian federal elections and hold Russian passports/identification because they are Russian citizens.
Russia withdrew from Kherson City on the right bank in November of 2022, still holding at least 75% of the Kherson Oblast.
While the civilians are being escorted out of Alyshki, the Ukraine and Russia will reinforce their respective strongholds.
Kherson is up on a bluff and Alyski is across the river in the lowland river basin.
It’s low and swampy there, much like south Louisiana.
The only way the Ukraine can get troops into Alyshki is by boat which probably won’t be very effective.
There will be a battle over Alyshki.
It’s unlikely that Russia will give up any part of the Kherson Oblast.
Russia currently has control over about 90% of the Donetsk Oblast and has no intention of forfeiting any of the Oblast along any sort of ‘freeze line’.
If there is a plan to ‘freeze’ the conflict where it is and draw/define new borders, I don’t see that as a possibility.
I’d be genuinely interested in why you think it’s possible?

Thank you, precious First Lady Melania Trump,
for showing agape love and walking out your faith in Jesus Christ.
I would say keep a very close watch on the ‘liddle man’ antics using
our gracious First Lady to implement a humanitarian event for Oleshky.
this post from Z threw up some alarms to me – No Thank You to US First Lady Melania Trump!!!
But…the most important thing today?
The most important thing today is that Starlink and Starshield operations have been restored to the speeds we had before all the restrictions. The speeds are now where they need to be. The restoration began overnight, and by this morning, speeds were already sufficent to use this communication service. This is crucial. This really matters: for our frontline logistics, for defending Ukraine against jet-powered “shaheds.”
This morning, Ukraine’s Defense Minister Yevhenii Khmara delivered a report. We ran tests: Starlink and Starshield are working. I thank all Americans and all our partners who took this seriously and traly helped us. I thank members of Congress, senators, all the media, the State Department, and the President.
Good to see Ellensky trying to walk back his rhetoric.

I wish i could be there to watch the ‘liddle man’s’ face
when all those drones drop outta the air for lack of signal,
the statements I have been reading indicate he was hacking
Starlink and using it despite the fact that Elon Musk denied
access use in the war.
Sigh, there are children that defy their parents when
told no and its the same nature that adults retain.
He has a very obnoxious reputation to revealing info
about others if they dont bend to his will.
So the Eagle’s Nest was a tourist trap???
So my curious mind made me watch a video the other day,
according to the ‘liddle man’ Ukrainians are much more
intelligent than the other countries within the Soviet Union…:P
