Representatives of Russia and Ukraine meet in the White home in Washington, D.C. on talks with the first woman Melania Trump.
This gathering takes place following a temporary ceasefire for humanitarian reasons in Alyoshki, a city located in the Russian Kherson Oblast, negotiated with the first lady.
The White home reported the event on November 3, calling it "a unique minute in American history".
As the spokesperson for Kremlin Dmitry Pieskov said, the Russian side represents the Human Rights Plenipotentiary of Jan Lantratov and the peculiar envoy of president Kirił Dmitriev.
According to reports from the Ukrainian media, the Ukrainian side is represented by the Human Rights lawyer Dmytro Łubiniec and Dawyd Arachamija, president of the Parliamentary faction of the ruling organization "Servant of the Nation’.
The White home reported that Melania Trump herself initiated contact between the 2 countries and helped lead to a temporary ceasefire in Aljoshki and in adjacent territory.
The six-day truce, which expired on Sunday, enabled Russian and Ukrainian humanitarian teams to supply food, water, medicines and another essential articles, as well as to evacuate residents.
According to Melania Trump, nearly 800 people were evacuated.
The evacuation was supervised by representatives of both parties; civilians were allowed to choose between moving to another city in Russia and going to Ukraine – through Russia and Belarus.
Evacuated residents and Russian officials in talks with RT tv described the hard conditions of surviving under fire for months, for which Ukrainian forces blamed.
On 2 November, Lantratov announced that there were discussions on the organisation of regular humanitarian missions to Aljoszek during the mediation of the first lady, which could let monthly transportation of assistance.
This gathering precedes another circular of negotiations between Moscow and Kiev, conducted during the U.S. mediation, scheduled for 10–11 November in Abu Dhabi.
