White House says Melania Trump hosted Russia and Ukraine after ceasefire

The White House said First Lady Melania Trump "gathered leaders from Russia and Ukraine at the White House today" after what it called the Oleshky ceasefire. It said the occasion is believed to mark "the first time in American history that a First Lady has personally brought representatives of two nations actively at war together to the White House for diplomacy." She said: "Now, we must use the courage we brought to Oleshky to find common ground through a shared concern for the suffering of innocent people." The release said the ceasefire "enabled the evacuation of 800 individuals."
