Celeb News: Melania Trump ‘Duped’ By Russia In Ukrainian Ceasefire Deal
According to the New York Post, the First Lady has managed to help forge a ceasefire deal in the Russian-occupied Ukrainian city of Oleshky so residents can get the relief aid they desperately need, as reported by the Associated Press.
As previously reported, Melania Trump’s surprising ceasefire efforts have already attracted plenty of attention.
The report goes on to say that Melania worked with officials from both countries and was the one to initiate talks after learning about the situation at one of her events back in September.
Per reports, Dmytro Lubinets, the Ukrainian ombudsman and his country’s chief negotiator in the talks, confirmed the temporary ceasefire, which began on October 27.
However, a new report by Newsweek suggests that the ceasefire may have given Russia more time to stock up on ammunition and strengthen its positions around the devastated city of Oleshky.
This, of course, is the last thing that Ukrainian officials or even Melania Trump want to see happen at this point.

Plus, everyone has been hailing the ceasefire as such a huge success that the White House would have a very difficult time explaining how and why Russia may have been able to ‘dupe’ the First Lady.
And while Melania Trump is credited with helping deliver much-needed aid to the roughly 2,000 residents and 50 children who are still living in Oleshky, a lot of people can’t help but wonder if Russia might have deliberately used Melania as cover for its own purposes.
Her growing diplomatic role at the White House has already raised plenty of questions about what might come next for the First Lady.
So far, the White House has not made any comments about the matter, although we will definitely update you with all of the latest details the moment they come in. Watch this space, as we have a feeling there is so much more to come.
Editor’s Take
If Russia really used this humanitarian ceasefire to strengthen its military positions, that would be incredibly disappointing. Melania deserves credit for trying to help civilians, but the real question is whether the agreement accomplished what it was supposed to do.
