A temporary ceasefire in Russian-controlled Oleshky in southern Ukraine appeared to be holding, with both sides stopping drone attacks ahead of a planned evacuation of about 2,000 trapped civilians. Finland’s president and Norway’s prime minister also spoke with Putin about efforts to end the war, while noting that major differences remain.
TThe GuardianOriginal★★★★☆2026-10-27 16:03
A short ceasefire in Ukraine’s Oleshky is intended to help more than 1,000 civilians, but the White House credits Melania Trump while the Vatican says Pope Leo helped secure it through calls with Russian and Ukrainian leaders. The pause is meant to enable aid deliveries and evacuations, not end hostilities.
Russia hit Kyiv multiple times on Monday night, just hours before a humanitarian ceasefire took effect in Oleshky. The US says Melania Trump brokered the truce, which is intended to bring urgently needed aid into the city and get civilians out.
A ceasefire Melania Trump helped negotiate took effect Tuesday in the Ukrainian front-line city of Oleshky. Ukraine and Russia agreed to pause military action so humanitarian aid can enter and civilians can be evacuated. Trump said many remaining residents are elderly and urgently need medical care and basic supplies.
Early Tuesday, Russia and Ukraine began a limited halt in fighting as one Ukrainian town faced starvation. US first lady Melania Trump was due to lead a relief mission, while missile attacks started up again in Kyiv.
David Arakhamia, head of the Servant of the People faction and a member of Ukraine’s negotiating group, said the ceasefire in Russian-occupied Oleshky would continue until 10:59 p.m. on November 1. Russia and Ukraine agreed to the truce to evacuate civilians and deliver humanitarian aid; Moscow has not commented.
Dmitry Peskov said Vladimir Putin spoke by phone with Finland’s president and Norway’s prime minister. Russia’s General Staff said hostilities in the Kherson sector had stopped under a ceasefire linked to the humanitarian operation in Alyoshki, with no violations reported. No date has been set for potential trilateral Ukraine talks.
The Kremlin said Vladimir Putin told Finnish President Alexander Stubb and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store that a US-brokered humanitarian operation had begun around Alyoshki, alongside a localized ceasefire in the Kherson sector to enable it.
Russia and Ukraine said Tuesday they had begun a regional ceasefire in the Russian-occupied town of Oleshky to enable a humanitarian effort. Strikes continued elsewhere, including in Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital.
Russia and Ukraine have stopped fighting around Oleshky, a war-ravaged town in Russian-controlled southern Ukraine, under a rare local ceasefire brokered with the involvement of US First Lady Melania Trump.
A Russia-Ukraine truce for civilian evacuations and humanitarian aid has taken effect in Oleshky, in the Kherson region, with both sides confirming it. Ukraine said it began at 3 a.m. Kyiv time; Russia’s Defense Ministry said its forces stopped firing in the Kherson direction at 4 a.m. Moscow time. Residents have lived under Russian occupation since 2022, while constant drone attacks have left them without food, electricity, or adequate medical care.
