Melania Trump says she and Putin communicating about children affected by war

  • On Friday, First Lady Melania Trump announced at the White House she secured an agreement with Russia to reunite Ukrainian children, with eight reunited in the past 24 hours.
  • After Mrs. Trump hand-delivered a letter in Alaska, Vladimir Putin responded earlier this year, leading to an open channel and three months of back-channel talks.
  • Of the eight returned children, three children displaced to the Russian Federation and five children separated across borders, including one Russian girl, with Russian officials providing biographies and health overviews.
  • Officials said plans are already underway to reunify more children, and the U.S. government confirmed the facts in cooperation with Ukraine's government, adding Russia agreed to return adults who turned 18.
  • Beyond the initial returns, investigations allege that Ukraine's 'Bring Kids Back' reports more than 19,500 abducted children and as many as 20,000 held in Russia, with a Yale study tracking 35,000+ children across over 200 facilities.
