Why Ukraine's first lady wrote Melania Trump a letter

President Volodymyr Zelensky has handed Donald Trump a letter of gratitude for his wife Melania, written by Ukraine's First Lady Olena Zelenska, after Melania advocated to protect children.

Zelensky has thanked Melania for raising awareness about at least 19,500 Ukrainian children his government says have been abducted by Russia since its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

His comments come after Melania sent Russian President Vladimir Putin her own letter imploring him to consider children, saying that "in protecting the innocence of these children, you will do more than serve Russia alone - you serve humanity".

Her letter did not reference any specific children.#Milania #UkraineRussiaWar #trump $BTC
