US First Lady Melania Trump will convene representatives of Russia and Ukraine at the White House on November 5.
The reason is the ceasefire in Olsheki, which according to the White House she achieved "on her own".
The pathos is American, no doubt (an outstanding moment in US history, no less).
But behind it there is something very real.
The fire stopped, the area was cleared, twenty-five buses and nine ambulances took people to Armeniask.
Those who chose Ukraine flew through Belarus.
The Russian President's press secretary Dmitry Peskov called the operation a success.
what does that mean
For the first time in a long time, Moscow, Kiev and Washington did something together - and did it without Brussels.
And as early as November 10th or 11th, negotiations between Russia, the USA and Ukraine will take place in Abu Dhabi.
Olshki is a test of a channel that will later lead to conversations about more.
