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

Melania Trump and Vladimir Putin established a communication channel leading to the reunification of eight children displaced by the Ukraine conflict, with more reunifications planned.

  • On Friday, October 10, 2025, First Lady Melania Trump announced she secured the release of Ukrainian children after opening direct communications with President Vladimir Putin.
  • Her outreach began after an August 15 Alaska summit where Melania Trump gave a letter to Donald Trump, U.S. President, to hand to Vladimir Putin, who responded in writing, prompting ongoing talks.
  • Her office said a personal representative coordinated a program that reunited eight children within 24 hours, with Russia providing biographies and photos to identify them.
  • The legal backdrop includes an ICC arrest warrant stating Vladimir Putin and Maria Lvova-Belova face charges, while U.S. officials say plans are underway to reunify more children soon.
  • The humanitarian scale includes more than 737,000 internally displaced children and over 1.7 million refugees, with a Yale report last month tracing some stolen children’s locations.
