Story summary

As of November 2, 2026, fighting resumed in Ukraine’s Kherson region after a six-day ceasefire brokered by First Lady Melania Trump. The ceasefire, which began on October 27, was the longest period of calm since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. It allowed hundreds of people trapped under Russian occupation near Oleshky to evacuate and receive humanitarian aid. However, Ukrainian officials disputed claims that Russian forces violated the ceasefire by resupplying their troops during the truce. Despite its brevity, Dmytro Lubinets, Ukraine's human rights ombudsman, thanked Trump for securing the agreement, which briefly restored a semblance of normalcy to the war-torn region.
