Melania Trump wrote a letter to Russia's President Vladimir Putin about the children who have been abducted from Ukraine, reports Reuters. According to information, her husband - US President Donald Trump - personally handed over the letter in connection with the summit in Alaska. Melania Trump herself was not present in Alaska.

In the letter, the US First Lady Melania Trump raises the situation for the children that Russia has taken away from Ukraine.

Ukraine has accused Russia of having taken away up to 20,000 children from parts of eastern and southern Ukraine since Russia launched its full-scale invasion in February 2022. Russia, on the other hand, claims that they have moved some children in order to protect them from the war.
