MELANIA TRUMP HINTS SHE COULD GO TO UKRAINE TO SEE HER CEASE - FIRE IN ACTION

What happened: Melania Trump said she may travel to Ukraine to see a localized ceasefire she brokered, and thanked Pope Leo XIV for his support amid questions over the pontiff's role in the negotiations. Key numbers: Oleshky, in the Kherson region, has about 2,000 residents, mostly elderly and children. The pontiff contacted Putin on Oct. 16 and Zelensky three days later. Why it matters: Russia and Ukraine confirmed her role, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov and Ukrainian ombudsman Dmytro Lubinets praising her involvement, while Democrats accused her of taking the pope's credit.
