Oleshky evacuation negotiated by Russian, Ukrainian intel, not Melania Trump

Le Monde reports that the civilian evacuation from Oleshky, Kherson region, was negotiated directly between Russian and Ukrainian intelligence agencies, with the operation publicly credited to Melania Trump's mediation. This reveals covert back-channel communication between the two sides despite ongoing conflict, and the public narrative was deliberately shaped for political purposes. The claim is based on unnamed sources and contradicts the official attribution, leaving the full extent of the intelligence channel uncertain.
