> A six-day ceasefire brokered by US first lady Melania Trump for a humanitarian aid mission to a Russian-occupied town has brought unusual quiet to Ukrainian-held Kherson. The local pause began at 3am Tuesday to allow medicine, food and water deliveries to Oleshky before evacuation corridors open later this week.
