Zelensky praised Melania Trump, she mediated a ceasefire in Olešky

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky awarded U.S. First Lady Melania Trump the Order of Princess Olga I for her humanitarian contributions to Ukraine. This recognition follows her role in facilitating a local ceasefire in Russian-occupied Oleški, addressing critical shortages of food, medicine, and water. The ceasefire marked the first respect for peace since the Russian invasion began in 2022, allowing for supplies and evacuations. President Donald Trump has expressed his desire to end the Russo-Ukrainian war and has sought a Nobel Peace Prize, citing his claims of having ended eight wars. The Order of Princess Olga honors women with significant contributions to public service.
