Russia killed at least 14 people when a drone struck two passenger trains at Dnipro station on Thursday, even as both Moscow and Kyiv praised Melania Trump for brokering the localised Oleshky truce. A Russian cruise missile also killed two 15-year-old girls in Chernihiv, with 56 people injured across Ukraine in a single day of strikes outside the ceasefire zone.

Both Putin and Zelensky publicly thanked Melania Trump, with Putin crediting 'the First Lady of the United States' for enabling aid deliveries.

Around 2,000 elderly residents trapped in Oleshky are the target of the relief mission, with landmine clearance under way to allow convoys in.

Ukraine launched one of its largest-ever drone offensives overnight — Russia claims to have downed 1,214 drones, roughly half of them heading for Moscow.
