Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has awarded US First Lady Melania Trump the Order of Princess Olha, First Class, the country’s highest honour for women, recognising her humanitarian efforts. A presidential decree cited her “significant personal contribution to humanitarian support for Ukraine” and her efforts concerning Ukrainian children affected by the war. The recognition comes days after a temporary ceasefire in the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky, in Kherson, enabled the evacuation of several hundred people. The White House credited Melania with independently initiating engagement between Moscow and Kyiv and securing the ceasefire. Representatives from both countries are scheduled to meet her at the White House. (PC: X)
