Story summary

US First Lady Melania Trump hosted peace talks between Russia and Ukraine at the White House on November 3, 2026. The meeting aimed to build upon a six-day ceasefire she brokered in Oleshky, which allowed nearly 800 people to escape from the besieged Ukrainian town along the Dnieper River. Subsequently, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy awarded Melania Trump Ukraine's highest award for women, the Order of Princess Olga, 1st Class, citing her "significant personal contribution" to humanitarian support and evacuations in war zones. The discussions also included a call by Trump for an "enduring truce," though President Donald Trump separately met with Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev and did not meet Ukrainian officials directly.
