First lady had pleaded for children in letter that Donald Trump delivered to Russian president at meeting in Alaska
Melania Trump said on Friday that eight Ukrainian children have been reunited with their families after ongoing talks with the Russian president, Vladimir Putin.
The US first lady in August wrote a letter to Putin and had her husband hand-deliver it during his meeting with the Russian president in Alaska.
Putin’s invasion of Ukraine has resulted in Russia taking Ukrainian children out of their country so that they can be raised as Russian.
The first lady, speaking to reporters at the White House, said that Putin responded to her letter and, after that, they had established an “open channel of communication” regarding the welfare of those children.
