Background:
- US First Lady Melania Trump wrote a "letter of peace" to Vladimir Putin in August 2025, calling for action regarding Ukrainian children removed by the Russian occupation administration. Donald Trump handed the letter to the Kremlin leader ahead of the Alaska summit.
- Following this, the US First Lady said she has an "open channel of communication" with Putin regarding the return of children abducted from Ukraine.
- On 4 December, the First Lady said that seven abducted Ukrainian children had been able to return home thanks to "bridge-building" by Ukraine and Russia.
- On 12 February, the White House announced that the First Lady had assisted in returning abducted Ukrainian children to their families for the third time.
