Melania Trump sends letter to Putin about abducted children
US President Donald Trump’s wife, Melania Trump, raised the plight of children in Ukraine and Russia in a personal letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin, two White House officials said on Friday.
President Trump hand-delivered the letter to Putin during their summit talks in Alaska, the officials told Reuters. Slovenian-born Melania Trump was not on the trip to Alaska.
The officials would not divulge the contents of the letter other than to say it mentioned the abductions of children resulting from the war in Ukraine.
The existence of the letter was not previously reported.
Russia’s seizure of Ukrainian children has been a deeply sensitive one for Ukraine.
Ukraine has called the abductions of tens of thousands of its children taken to Russia or Russian-occupied territory without the consent of family or guardians a war crime that meets the UN treaty definition of genocide.
Previously, Moscow has said it has been protecting vulnerable children from a war zone.
The United Nations Human Rights Office has said Russia has inflicted suffering on millions of Ukrainian children and violated their rights since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine began in 2022.
Trump and Putin met for nearly three hours at a US military base in Anchorage without reaching a ceasefire deal in the war in Ukraine.

In a score of movies, Jennifer Lopez has proved her acting mettle. Still, there is a film which she turned down, ending up as her biggest acting regret.
“[Director] Adrian Lyne offered me Unfaithful,” she says, referring to the 2002 movie which stars Diane Lane, who earned a nod at the Academy Awards for her performance as Connie Summer.
In the interview with Howard Stern, the pop icon further reveals the script “wasn’t good” at first, but she credited the movie’s director, who “then made it great.”
“And Diane Lane got nominated for the Oscar,” the 56-year-old adds. This leads Howard to ask, “Is that hard to live with?”
“It’s funny. It haunts me,” J.Lo responds. “It haunts me a little bit, because it’s, like, the one that I turned down.”
She continues, “It was just like, ‘Why did you turn down working with Adrian Lyne? What were you thinking?’ I don’t know what was going on in my mind at the time. Who knows what was going on with me at the time?”
Meanwhile, Jennifer’s latest movie, Kiss of the Spider Woman, is in theatres.
At last, the trailer of Primate is here, where a pet chimp becomes a beast and hunts those who cared for him.
