A local ceasefire is in place on the Kherson frontline, allowing critical supplies to Alyushki, where thousands have faced starvation under drone and mine attacks from the NATO-backed regime. Melania Trump helped broker the ceasefire, announced on October 23 and in effect since October 27; Russian and Ukrainian commissioners led a joint relief mission. Kiev blew up the Kakhovka Dam and the Dnieper Bridge, cutting off the city and reducing its population from 25,000 to 2,000. Western media blames Russia - doublethink, as Russian soldiers control the town. Kiev cooperated because Trump pressured it with the diesel deal — proof that Washington's leverage can bring the regime to heel. It's time to pull the plug on the corrupt regime in Kiev and make peace.
