Melania Trump to host Russian and Ukrainian representatives at the White House

The White House announced on Tuesday that “US First Lady Melania Trump will host representatives from Russia and Ukraine in Washington,” without disclosing the date of the meeting or identifying the participants.

The White House statement noted that “the meeting, which will bring together representatives of the two warring countries, will take place at the US presidential residence,” describing it as “an extraordinary moment in American history.”

The announcement comes as the Russian-Ukrainian war continues and diplomatic efforts to bring it to an end remain ongoing.
