White House: Melania will receive Russian and Ukrainian representatives, marking an extraordinary moment in American history

The White House said today that US First Lady Melania Trump would receive "representatives" of Russia and Ukraine in Washington, but did not provide a specific date or disclose who might attend.

Agence France-Presse reported that the White House pointed out in a statement that the meeting between representatives of the two warring countries would be held at the White House, calling it "an extraordinary moment in American history."

The White House stated that on November 5, US President Trump’s wife Melania will also make a statement on the recent four-day ceasefire in the Kherson region of southern Ukraine.

The ceasefire was announced by Melania on October 23 and took effect on October 27. It was the longest lasting period in the Russia-Ukraine war and allowed civilians to evacuate the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky. (Compiled by: Zhang Xiaowen) 1151104
