Melania Trump thanks Pope Leo for his support amid a row over who deserves credit for the Ukraine ceasefire

President Donald Trump says his wife is 'doing better than the professionals', meaning his envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner. Asked in Palm Beach whether she would travel to Ukraine, Melania Trump said 'We will see.' Her adviser Marc Beckman claims she 'single-handedly brokered' the Oleshky truce. The Vatican says Pope Leo XIV phoned Vladimir Putin on October 16 to ask for one.

Around 2,000 Oleshky residents, mostly elderly people and children, are reportedly eating grass.

Melania's statement said aid and evacuations would be 'impossible' without her intervention.

Beckman says Russia has agreed to extend the truce by two days across Kherson.
