The White House stated that First Lady Melania Trump actively helped facilitate a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine in the area surrounding the occupied city of Oleshky. Currently, betting is underway on whether Melania will win the Nobel Peace Prize. On the prediction platform Polymarket, Melania Trump currently has a 5% chance of winning the Nobel Peace Prize, Ukrainian President Zelensky has a 6% chance, and US President Trump has a 9% chance. Ryder University professor Frank Rusciano stated that Melania's chances of winning seem very low, especially considering how Trump's support for Ukraine might affect her chances.
