Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has awarded Melania Trump Ukraine's highest award following a ceasefire around Oleshky. Russian and Ukrainian delegations are scheduled to meet the US first lady at the White House on Thursday. The award and the meeting link the Oleshky truce to the wider US-brokered effort to end the Russia-Ukraine war. The reporting did not detail the terms of the ceasefire or what the delegations hope to achieve at the White House.
