The wife of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, Melania Trump, raised the difficult situation of children in Ukraine and Russia in a personal letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin, two White House officials said.
President Trump gave the letter to Putin during his conversations at the summit in Alaska, the officials said. Reuters. Melania Trump, born in the Slovenian, was not on the trip to Alaska.
The officials would not disseminate the content of the letter that is not to say that he mentioned the kidnappings of children resulting from the war in Ukraine.
The existence of the letter was not previously reported.
The seizure of Ukrainian children in Russia has been deeply sensitive to Ukraine.
Ukraine has called the kidnappings of tens of thousands of his children taken to Russia or territory occupied by Russia without the consent of the family or guardians a war crime that meets the definition of genocide of the UN Treaty.
Previously, Moscow has said that it has been protecting vulnerable children from a war zone.
The United Nations Human Rights Office has said that Russia has inflicted the suffering of millions of Ukrainian children and violated their rights since its large -scale invasion of Ukraine began in 2022.
Trump and Putin gathered for almost three hours in an American military base in Anchorage without reaching a high fire agreement in the war in Ukraine.
