President Donald Trump shared a "peace letter" written by First Lady Melania Trump that was hand-delivered to Russian President Vladimir Putin during the Trump-Putin summit in Alaska. In the letter, Melania urged Putin to end the more than three-year war in Ukraine and emphasized the need to protect children and future generations. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky publicly thanked President Trump multiple times for his efforts to stop the conflict and the killings. Zelensky also presented Trump with a handwritten letter from Ukrainian First Lady Olena Zelenska addressed to Melania Trump, expressing gratitude for her advocacy, particularly regarding the abduction of Ukrainian children by Russia. President Trump stated that Melania was compelled to write the letter because of her strong feelings about ending the war and her love for children. The letter was reportedly well received by Putin. The exchanges took place during meetings at the White House, where Zelensky repeatedly expressed thanks to Trump, highlighting the ongoing diplomatic efforts to secure peace in Ukraine.
