The media has always given short shrift to Melania, especially after their fawning towards Michhelle Obama and Jill Biden. So I was glad to see this welcome editorial from the 11-3-26 New York Post regarding her efforts.

Hail Melania Trump, the one US diplomat making a difference in the Russia-Ukraine war
"Exactly one US diplomat is showing results when it comes to Russia’s war on Ukraine: First Lady Melania Trump, whose focus on small, discrete goals yields real victories.
"With minimal publicity, she’s gotten dozens of Ukrainian kids returned to their families and locked down a temporary local cease-fire in the frontline city Oleshky, opening vital evacuation corridors allowing nearly 800 civilians to evacuate.
"She hopes to enlarge on that next week, hosting a White House sitdown looking at a larger cease-fire across the Kherson region.
"Meanwhile, the Kremlin continues its long-distance slaughter of the innocents, killing dozens one day by dropping bunker-busters on a school used as a relief center, and dozens more the next by targeting another aid station.
"Not to mention its nightly bombing and droning of Ukrainian power plants.
"All this is Vladimir Putin’s tone-setter for next week’s talks in Abu Dhabi, where the likes of special envoy Steve Witkoff will again try for a full cease-fire.
"Of course, the first lady isn’t pretending she’s going to end the war; she’s just trying to save some lives.
"Then again, she’s succeeding.
"You have to wonder what the president’s other diplomats might achieve if they quit pretending, too."
