Melania Trump has said eight Ukrainian children have been reunited with their families following ongoing talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
In August, the First Lady wrote a letter to Putin and her husband hand delivered it during his meeting with the Russian president in Alaska.
The invasion of Ukraine has seen children being taken out of their country.
Speaking to reporters at the White House on Friday, Mrs Trump said that Putin responded to her letter and that they have established an “open channel of communication” regarding the welfare of those children.
She said: “We have agreed to co-operate with each other for the benefit of all people involved in this war.”
In 2022, the International Criminal Court issued an arrest warrant for Putin for war crimes, accusing him of personal responsibility for the abductions of children from Ukraine.
