Longest Ukraine war truce in Kherson region set to expire without extension

The longest truce of the Ukraine war, a humanitarian ceasefire in the Kherson region brokered by US First Lady Melania Trump, was set to end on Sunday evening, November 1, 2026, without an announced extension from either side. The pause in fighting, which began earlier in the week, allowed for humanitarian missions but also saw Russian forces reportedly amass new troops and collect intelligence.
