Melania Trump, the first lady of the United States, hosted a rare meeting between senior Russian and Ukrainian officials at the White House on Thursday, November 5, and called for a "more sustainable" ceasefire in the Ukraine war. This unprecedented meeting was held in order to extend the six-day temporary ceasefire in the city of Udeshki in Ukraine, which was reached last month through the mediation of Melania Trump. Noting that this ceasefire succeeded in providing the ground for demining and the safe evacuation of residents, the First Lady of the United States asked the envoys of the two countries to use this experience as a spark for peace and deliver her personal letters to Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky. At this meeting, Kirill Dmitriev, the Russian envoy, praised Melania Trump's humanitarian role in brokering this ceasefire and trying to return separated children from their families. This indigenous ceasefire is considered the longest pause in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine since the war began in 2022.
