The White House says US First Lady Melania Trump has secured a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine in Oleshky, a Russian-occupied city in the Kherson region. The truce begins on 29 October so elderly residents can receive food, medicine and water, and those who want to leave can be evacuated. Both Kyiv and Moscow have confirmed the deal, though how long it lasts remains unclear.
