A localized ceasefire between Ukrainian and Russian forces in the Russian-occupied city of Oleshky began on Oct. 27, brokered with the mediation of U.S. First Lady Melania Trump, Ukraine's human rights ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets confirmed. The temporary halt is intended to enable a humanitarian aid mission to the besieged city. However, within minutes of the ceasefire taking effect, Russian forces launched a wave of ballistic missiles at other parts of Ukraine, including the capital Kyiv.
