> Fighting has stopped in Russian-occupied Oleshky, Ukraine, after a truce the White House says was secured by the US first lady. It is intended to enable aid deliveries and a civilian evacuation on Friday. Residents told the BBC they were weary of the ceasefire because routes could pass through Crimea and Russia; the city has lacked electricity, gas and water for three years, and residents said they had eaten weeds to survive.
