Ukrainian President Zelensky announced on the 4th that he would award US First Lady Melania Trump a national honor in recognition of her significant personal contribution to humanitarian aid in Ukraine and her active participation in human rights and charity work.

According to the "AFP" report, Melania announced in October that Ukraine and the Russian army had reached a partial ceasefire agreement, allowing residents of Oleshky on the southern front to evacuate. This rare ceasefire was observed by both warring parties, allowing relevant roads to be demined and allowing local residents to evacuate and travel to other parts of Ukraine.

The decree published on the website of the Presidential Palace of Ukraine states, "I hereby decree that the Order of Princess Olga, First Class (Order of Princess Olga) is awarded to Melania, the First Lady of the United States of America."

The Order of Princess Olga was established by Ukraine in 1997. It is mainly awarded to women who have made outstanding contributions in the fields of country, society, science, education, culture, charity and other fields. The medal is divided into first, second and third levels, with first level being the highest level.

Before Zelensky announced the award of the Medal to Melania, Melania's White House office issued a statement on the evening of the 3rd, stating that the partial ceasefire agreement reached between Ukraine and Russia marked an unprecedented diplomatic initiative by the US first lady. The statement also stated that Melania would arrange a meeting between Russian representatives and Ukrainian representatives at the White House, but did not announce a specific date.
