Melania Trump touts return of displaced children amid Russia-Ukraine war

US First Lady Melania Trump said she has opened a channel with Vladimir Putin that helped return eight children displaced by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. In a six-minute White House address, she praised “good-faith” back-channel talks and said her representative worked with Putin’s team, noting documents on the children’s care and a case in which a girl was reunited from Ukraine to Russia. She avoided mention of Russia’s ICC warrant over child deportations. The remarks follow the August 15 Alaska summit between President Donald Trump and Putin, which produced no ceasefire breakthrough.
