In a significant diplomatic breakthrough, U.S. First Lady Melania Trump announced on Friday that she had successfully secured the release of Ukrainian children abducted by Russia. This achievement followed weeks of discreet negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin, initiated after a summit between Putin and her husband, former U.S. President Donald Trump, in Alaska. Melania revealed that eight children displaced by Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine had been reunited with their families within the past 24 hours.
