The ceasefire agreement between Russia and Ukraine in the Kherson region has been expanded to cover a broader southern area, with US First Lady Melania Trump stating that the move aims to provide safe passage for humanitarian convoys. The ceasefire, initially planned to deliver food and medicine to the Russian-occupied Ukrainian city of Oleshky, came into effect earlier on Tuesday. A key official from Ukrainian President Zelenskyy's parliamentary party stated that the ceasefire would last until 22:59 Ukrainian time on Sunday, November 1, calling it "the largest de-escalation of the situation since 2022."
