This news article explores how U.S. first Lady Melania Trump penned a personal letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin addressing the abduction of Ukrainian children amid the war, which President Trump then hand-delivered during their summit in Anchorage, Alaska. While the specific contents of the letter were not disclosed, it drew gratitude from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who praised the gesture as a humanitarian act. The move comes against the backdrop of widespread allegations by Ukraine and international bodies—including the U.N.—that Russia’s forced relocation of Ukrainian children amounts to war crimes or genocide.
