First Lady Melania Trump wrote a “peace letter” to Russian President Vladimir Putin telling him “it is time” to protect children and future generations around the globe, a letter hand-delivered by President Trump before the high-stakes meeting in Alaska Friday.
Fox News Digital exclusively obtained a copy of the “peace letter” the first lady penned to Putin.
According to the report, immediately upon receiving the letter, Putin read it as the U.S. and Russian delegations looked on.
“Dear President Putin,” the first lady’s letter begins. “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,” the letter 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. A simple yet profound concept, Mr. Putin, as I am sure you agree, is that each generation’s descendants begin their lives with a purity – an innocence which stands above geography, government, and ideology.”
The first lady continued that “in today’s world, some children are forced to carry a quiet laughter, untouched by the darkness around them – a silent defiance against the forces that can potentially claim their future.”
“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.”
“Such a bold idea transcends all human division, and you, Mr. Putin, are fit to implement this vision with a stroke of the pen today,” she wrote. “It is time.”
Weeks ago, the first lady reportedly spoke to her husband about the promises Putin had not fulfilled regarding deescalating Moscow’s war with Ukraine, in effect advising the president to get tougher with the Russian leader.
Saturday morning, President Trump announced that he had a meeting scheduled for Monday at the White House with Ukrainian President Zelensky to discuss an end to the war, saying that “a mere Ceasefire Agreement” is not on the table, but rather an immediate peace agreement.
