Melania Trump wrote a personal letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin that her husband, President Donald Trump, hand-delivered during the Alaska summit when the two world leaders sat down together in Anchorage on Friday, Aug. 15.
In her letter, which she shared on Instagram on Saturday, Aug. 16, the first lady, 55, addressed the plight of children in Ukraine and Russia.
According to Reuters publication, Donald, 79, gave the letter to Putin, 72, during their sit-down meeting in Alaska, which took place on Friday, Aug. 15, at the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage.
Melania was not on the trip.
Her letter began: ‘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.’
‘As parents, it is our duty to nurture the next generation’s hope,’ she continued.
‘As leaders, the responsibility to sustain our children extends beyond the comfort of a few. 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.’
Melania went on to implore Putin to protect ‘the innocence’ of the children, arguing that in doing so, ‘you will do more than serve Russia alone — you serve humanity itself.’
‘Such a bold idea transcends all human division, and you, Mr. Putin, are fit to implement this vision with a stroke of a pen today. It is time,’ she concluded her letter.
Following Friday’s nearly three-hour meeting, Donald announced that he failed to secure an agreement from Putin to end the war.
