Summary

Russia and Ukraine have agreed to a US-brokered local ceasefire in Oleshky, a Russian-occupied town in southern Ukraine's Kherson region that is on the frontline and faces a humanitarian crisis. The Kremlin confirmed the deal on Friday, October 23, and said Russian and Ukrainian militaries were working to set the dates for implementing it. Le Monde reports that both Moscow and Kyiv said they would observe the ceasefire from Tuesday, when trapped citizens are running out of food, and that US First Lady Melania Trump announced she had brokered the truce. The Hindu reports, citing a negotiator, that the local humanitarian ceasefire will start on October 27 after Ukrainian, Russian and US negotiators reached a deal to provide humanitarian assistance. NDTV reports that Ukraine's military command said it would observe the ceasefire. The Financial Times reports that the Pope and Melania Trump helped organise the deal, which is meant to let humanitarian aid enter the area and allow civilians to be evacuated. Deutsche Welle and The Straits Times report that Zelenskyy said peace negotiators would meet next month for wider talks. ABC News reports that the city is set to get a brief pause in the war so aid can get in and residents can get out.
