The successful rescue of residents of occupied Oleshky gives hope for the end of the war between Ukraine and Russia, states US First Lady Melania Trump.
Melania Trump expressed hope that the humanitarian mission in Oleshky in the Kherson region would become a starting point on the path to a lasting peace between Ukraine and Russia.
"A renewed spirit. The ceasefire across Oleshky and the surrounding Kherson region has provided residents with the freedom to move, access to food, clean water, medicine, plus a renewed sense of dignity without the constant threat of attack. Let Oleshky become the starting point for lasting peace," wrote the US First Lady.
On October 31, Melania publicly reacted for the first time to the completion of the evacuation of Oleshky residents, which she had facilitated throughout the process.
"Hope for sustainable peace. Oleshky proves we can raise humanity above war," wrote the wife of the US President.
