First lady Melania Trump wrote a letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin about what children are going through one Ukraine.
The letter was delivered by President Donald Trump when he and Putin met Friday in Alaska to talk about a possible peace deal between Russia and Ukraine, Reuters reported.
The first lady wrote about the plight of children in Ukraine and what Putin can do to help the situation.
āDear President Putin, Every child shares the same quiet dreams in their heart, whether born randomly into a nationās rustic countryside or a magnificent city-center. They dream of love, possibility, and safety from danger,ā she wrote, per the Gateway Pundit.
āAs parents, it is our duty to nurture the next generationās hope. As leaders, the responsibility to sustain our children extends beyond the comfort of a few,ā she continued.
āUndeniably, we must strive to paint a dignity-filled world for allāso that every soul may wake to peace, and so that the future itself is perfectly guarded,ā the first lady wrote. āA simple yet profound concept, Mr. Putin, as I am sure you agree, is that each generationās descendants begin their lives with a purityāan innocence which stands above geography, government, and ideology.ā
āMr. Putin, you can singlehandedly restore their melodic laughter. In protecting the innocence of these children, you will do more than serve Russia aloneāyou serve humanity itself,ā she wrote.
āSuch a bold idea transcends all human division, and you, Mr. Putin, are fit to implement this vision with a stroke of the pen today,ā she wrote. āIt is time,ā Melania Trump concluded.
Ukraine says the abductions of 10s of thousands of Ukrainian children who are then taken to Russia or Russian-occupied territory are war crimes, Reuters reported.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he was grateful for the letter and for her āsincere attention and efforts to bring forcibly deported Ukrainian kids back. This is a true act of humanism.ā
āThis is a true act of humanism,ā Ukraineās foreign minister Andrii Sybiha continued in his post on X.
