They escaped from "hell". "The First Lady of the USA became the face of the negotiations"
A ceasefire in Ołeszki, Ukraine, allowed hundreds of civilians to escape a dire situation described as hellish and a minefield. The town, located on the left bank of the Dnieper River, was occupied by Russian forces since the beginning of the war, trapping nearly two thousand civilians. They faced starvation and lacked access to water and medicine, drawing international attention, including a statement from U.S. First Lady Melania Trump.
