A local ceasefire effort involving U.S. first lady Melania Trump could give some residents of the Russian-held city of Oleshky a chance to leave, CBS News reported.
The report described departure as a possibility but did not confirm that residents had begun leaving or identify where they might go.
Lubinets says the ceasefire has held for 54 hours without reported violations, while later Ukrainian and Russian accounts date its start two days before the White House’s initial schedule.
The plan includes demining before aid and civilian movement, but no deliveries or departures have been reported.
The White House estimates 1,700 to 2,000 residents remain and says the pause is intended to support aid deliveries and voluntary departures.
