US-brokered local ceasefire in Oleshky takes effect for aid, evacuations

The scope and duration of the truce remain unclear, and it is uncertain whether it signals broader de-escalation or is an isolated humanitarian measure. This marks a rare diplomatic intervention by a US first lady in the conflict, potentially opening a channel for further localized agreements.
