Ukraine’s parliament commissioner for human rights, Dmytro Lubinets, confirmed in a social media post that the ceasefire had begun.<\/p>\n
“As head of the Ukrainian negotiating team, I confirm that the Ukrainian side is honouring its commitments,” he wrote on Facebook.<\/p>\n
Oleshky was seized by Russia during the first days of its full-scale invasion in February 2022.<\/p>\n
Residents were trapped with scarce food between Ukrainian positions across the Dnipro River and Russian forces to the east.<\/p>\n
The city was home to 24,000 people before the war. Now Ukraine estimates that some 6,000 people remain in the city and its surrounding areas, including 200 children.<\/p>\n
The White House said last week that Melania Trump had secured the ceasefire in Oleshky.<\/p>\n
“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,” she said in a press release.<\/p>\n
While the US first lady is relatively lower profile than some of her predecessors – and only occasionally seen at White House events – she has become involved in addressing humanitarian issues stemming from the Russia-Ukraine war.<\/p>\n
In August 2025, she penned a letter to Putin, telling him it was “time to protect children and future generations worldwide”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ukraine’s parliament commissioner for human rights, Dmytro Lubinets, confirmed in a social media post that the ceasefire had…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":815186,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":["post-815185","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/815185","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=815185"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/815185\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/815186"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=815185"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=815185"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=815185"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
