Melania Trump says she has 'open communication channel' with Putin about Ukrainian children

First Lady Melania Trump said Friday that Vladimir Putin responded to her “peace letter” on child victims of the Russia-Ukraine war, and that eight Ukrainian children were reunited with families in the past 24 hours. At a White House podium, she said the letter, hand-delivered during Putin’s August Alaska visit, opened a channel that led Ukraine and Russia to facilitate the reunifications, which U.S. officials confirmed. Trump cited cases spanning both countries. Her appeal comes amid Ukrainian claims that at least 19,500 children have been taken to Russia and an ICC warrant for Putin over alleged deportations.
