> Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky awarded Melania Trump the Order of Princess Olha, 1st Class, for her contribution to humanitarian support for Ukraine. After a ceasefire enabled the evacuation of several hundred people from Russian-occupied Oleshky, Russian and Ukrainian representatives are due to meet at the White House on Thursday. The White House said Melania Trump initiated engagement between the sides and secured the truce, though neither side detailed her role.
