Melania Trump has achieved the return of Ukrainian children: Putin answered her appeal

To spread: eight Ukrainian children have returned to their families after the intervention of the first lady of the US Melania Trump. She reported this during a briefing at the White House, noting that a humanitarian communication channel was opened between Washington and Moscow. According to the Associated Press, Melania Trump said eight Ukrainian children reunited with their families after her negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

According to the First Lady, in August, she sent Putin to return deported Ukrainian children and asked her husband, President of US Donald Trump, personally to send an appeal during a meeting with the Russian leader in Alaska. The invasion of Russia into Ukraine has led to mass export of Ukrainian children from the occupied territories. Many of them were transferred to Russian families or placed in government agencies where they are brought up as Russian citizens.

Melania Trump noted that the issue of children was a personal priority for her after communicating with Ukrainian families who lost their contact with their children. During a speech to journalists in the White House on Friday, Melan Trump reported that Vladimir Putin had sent a response to her letter. The parties then established an "Open Channel" to discuss humanitarian issues related to the fate of Ukrainian children.

"We agreed to cooperate with each other for the benefit of all the people involved in this war," said the first lady of the United States. According to Focus, Melania Trump transferred Putin to Alaska a personal letter, in which the first ladies of the United States called on the Russian president to "defend children" and overcome divisions between peoples.
