Following diplomatic mediation involving United States First Lady Melania Trump and Pope Leo XIV, the quiet period in southern Ukraine concluded without any extension. Moscow reportedly turned down Kyiv's diplomatic appeal to stretch the halt in fighting, leaving regional authorities to warn citizens away from volatile Dnipro River front lines.
