A new diplomatic development is emerging in the Russia-Ukraine war as US First Lady Melania Trump prepares to host representatives from both countries at the White House on Thursday, November 5.
The meeting, described by her office as an “extraordinary moment in American history,” follows Melania Trump's involvement in facilitating a humanitarian ceasefire in the Russian-occupied Ukrainian town of Oleshky, allowing civilians to be evacuated.
The planned gathering comes amid continuing hostilities, disagreements over ceasefire arrangements and renewed diplomatic efforts involving Washington, Moscow and Kyiv.
We examine what is known about the proposed meeting, Melania Trump's unusual diplomatic role and whether this initiative could contribute to broader peace efforts between Russia and Ukraine.
