The St James belle of the ball
Melania Trump is reportedly playing a much bigger role in the Russia-Ukraine war than previously known.
The first lady held talks involving Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelenskyy, with both countries said to have authorized her to serve as their “exclusive intermediary” in negotiations over a localized ceasefire.
The discussions covered military movements, evacuation routes and the recovery of bodies from the battlefield.
The agreement, which took effect October 27, opens a roughly weeklong window to deliver aid and evacuate some 2,000 civilians trapped in Russian-occupied Oleshky.
How Melania helped bring the two sides to an agreement, and what could happen next:

Russia showcases payment systems operating beyond Western control
Russian banks and their foreign partners are already processing international payments without relying on Western financial systems, Kremlin Deputy Chief of Staff Maxim Oreshkin told President Vladimir Putin at the Russia-Africa forum in Moscow.
"Just five years ago, we, like many countries, relied mainly on the dollar and euro for foreign trade," Oreshkin said, adding that Russian banks and their foreign partners now use digital technologies and nonbank financial institutions to process international payments.
Finance Minister Anton Siluanov highlighted Russian company A7, which is preparing to offer cross-border payment services in Africa, with transactions processed "in one click" for a fee of just 0.3%.
"Nobody can cut you off. From a technological standpoint, it's impossible to block such payments," Putin said, describing the system as sovereign, transparent, and capable of instantly converting between traditional and digital currencies.
