US-Brokered Truce Begins in Ukraine City Occupied by Russia
A truce between Ukraine and Russia aimed at allowing humanitarian aid into the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky entered into force early Tuesday, after it was announced by US First Lady Melania Trump last week. Both sides said they would observe the truce starting at 3:00 am local time (0100 GMT). AFP was not able to immediately verify whether there had been a decrease in fighting. The war-ravaged city in Ukraine's southern Kherson region has been caught in middle of the fighting since 2022, when it was seized by Russian forces at the start of their invasion.
