Melania Trump helps reunite another Ukrainian family separated by war
US First Lady Melania Trump has helped reunite another Ukrainian child with her family after they were separated by Russia's aggression against Ukraine.
Source: a statement by the Office of the First Lady of the United States, as reported by European Pravda
Quote from Trump: "There is nothing more powerful than reuniting a mother with her child after an extended period of time. My representative and I are focused on helping facilitate the next reunification of individuals who have been separated from their loved ones because of the war between Ukraine and Russia."
Details: The statement says that the US first lady has already helped reunite 34 children with their families.
The White House links these efforts to a letter Melania Trump previously wrote to Russian ruler Vladimir Putin.
Background:
- In May, the Council of the European Union imposed sanctions on individuals and legal entities responsible for the abduction of Ukrainian children from temporarily occupied territories.
- It was also reported that Lithuania had pledged to allocate more than €10 million to support initiatives related to the return of children abducted by Russia, psychological and medical rehabilitation, strengthening the child protection system and ensuring accountability for such crimes.
