> Ukraine's ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets and Russia's human rights commissioner Yana Lantratova are expected at a Nov. 5 White House event where Melania Trump will discuss the Oleshky humanitarian operation. Lantratova would need a special State Department waiver to enter the US because she was sanctioned in 2022. A localized ceasefire brokered with Melania Trump's help enabled civilians wishing to leave Russian-occupied Oleshky to evacuate.
