US First Lady Melania Trump has written a moving “peace letter” to Russian President Vladimir Putin, urging him to safeguard children and future generations by bringing an end to the war in Ukraine.

According to reports, President Donald Trump personally delivered the letter to Putin ahead of his summit with the Russian leader at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Alaska on Friday.

In her appeal, Melania highlighted the devastating toll of the conflict on children, describing them as “caught in the crosshairs of violence.” She wrote:

“Dear President Putin, Every child shares the same quiet dreams in their heart, whether born randomly into a nation’s rustic countryside or a magnificent city-centre. They dream of love, possibility, and safety from danger.”

She emphasized that protecting future generations must be the shared duty of both parents and world leaders. “As parents, it is our duty to nurture the next generation’s hope. As leaders, the responsibility to sustain our children extends beyond the comfort of a few,” she noted.

This is Melania Trump’s second known involvement in US foreign policy on Russia and Ukraine. She earlier influenced President Trump’s decision to strengthen military aid to Kyiv and adopt a firmer position toward Moscow.

Appealing directly to Putin, she wrote: “Mr. Putin, you can singlehandedly restore their melodic laughter. In protecting the innocence of these children, you will do more than serve Russia alone, you serve humanity itself.”

The letter ended with an urgent plea for immediate action, calling on Putin to act “with a stroke of the pen today.”

Meanwhile, President Trump described his Alaska meeting with Putin as “extremely productive,” though no formal agreement was reached. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is scheduled to visit Washington on Monday for further talks.
