Localized Ceasefire in Southern Ukraine Takes Effect for Humanitarian Aid

A localized ceasefire between Ukrainian and Russian forces began early Tuesday in southern Ukraine, facilitating a humanitarian mission brokered by U.S. First Lady Melania Trump. The pause in fighting, which started at 3 a.m., aims to allow aid into the Russian-occupied town of Oleshky, where up to 2,000 people are stranded with dwindling food and medicine. Despite the ceasefire, missile attacks resumed in Kyiv, highlighting the fragile nature of the conflict.
