Russian President Vladimir Putin met his US counterpart Donald Trump. Following the meeting, the US President described his talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin as “productive," stating that “many points were agreed upon" and only “very few" remain unresolved — a remark that seemed to hint at progress toward a possible resolution of the Ukraine conflict.
Meanwhile, as the Ukraine-Russia conflict continues, First Lady Melania Trump has written a “peace letter" to Putin, asking him “it is time" to protect children and future generations around the globe, according to Fox News.
In a heartfelt message addressed to the Russian president, the first lady opened with a universal reflection on childhood.
“Dear President Putin," the first lady’s letter begins. “Every child shares the same quiet dreams in their heart, whether born randomly into a nation’s rustic countryside or a magnificent city-center. They dream of love, possibility, and safety from danger."
She stressed the shared duty of both parents and world leaders in protecting future generations.
“As parents, it is our duty to nurture the next generation’s hope," the letter continued. “As leaders, the responsibility to sustain our children extends beyond the comfort of a few."
The message further urged for a collective pursuit of global dignity and peace.
“Undeniably, we must strive to paint a dignity-filled world for all—so that every soul may wake to peace, and so that the future itself is perfectly guarded," read the letter.
It concluded with a reminder of the shared innocence that transcends political and geographic boundaries.
“A simple yet profound concept, Mr. Putin, as I am sure you agree, is that each generation’s descendants begin their lives with a purity—an innocence which stands above geography, government, and ideology."
The letter was handed to Putin by President Trump himself before the Alaska Talks begin.
