Melania Trump's ceasefire takes effect in the occupied Ukrainian city of Oleshky, but Russian missiles hit Kyiv the SAME morning

Some 6,000 people, including 200 children, remain trapped in Oleshky, desperately short of food and medicine. The local pause began at 3am to clear the way for an aid mission due later this week. Ukraine's Dmytro Lubinets said Kyiv is 'honouring its commitments'. Meanwhile, Mayor Vitaly Klitschko said a strike hit Kyiv's Southern Bridge and damaged its metro infrastructure.

Residents have walked 20km for food and water along what locals call the 'road of death'.

No side has said who will monitor the truce.
