US First Lady Melania Trump will host Russian and Ukrainian representatives at the White House on November 5, Reuters reported via the White House, to discuss a ceasefire in Oleshky, in Ukraine's Kherson region.
The White House says the First Lady initiated the dialogue and secured a ceasefire in the town and surrounding area, and she will make a statement on it at 20:00 Baku time.
Why it matters: a First Lady-led channel is unusual diplomacy, and if it holds in one town, both sides will ask whether the format can scale.
