❗️Oleshky: Ceasefire Begins as Ukraine Fulfills Its Commitments A ceasefire came into effect today at 3:00 a.m. Kyiv time (4:00 a.m. Moscow time) in designated areas related to the humanitarian mission. ☝️This is part of a humanitarian mission being carried out with the mediation and coordination of U.S. First Lady Melania Trump (@FLOTUS), in cooperation with Yana Lantratova, Russia’s Commissioner for Human Rights. As head of the Ukrainian negotiating team, I confirm that the Ukrainian side is honoring its commitments. The agreements were reached during negotiations with Yana Lantratova, head of the Russian negotiating team. ‼️I will continue to keep the public informed of developments, with the safety of civilians in Oleshky and compliance with the agreed arrangements remaining our top priorities.

34 days #Kyiv has lived under sustained #attacks for 34 consecutive days. #Women give birth in shelters, #children miss school, the city sleeps between #explosions. #London endured 57 consecutive nights of bombing in 1940. Kyiv may be counting months And Kyiv continues to live
