第一夫人梅兰妮·特朗普周五宣布，她和俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京就受俄乌战争影响的儿童问题有一个“开放的沟通渠道”。
“为了这场战争中所有人的利益，我们同意相互合作，”她在白宫大厅发表的简短讲话中说。
“事实上，在过去的24小时内，已经有8名儿童与他们的家人团聚，”她补充道。
第一夫人给普京写了一封信声明是时候保护受多年战争影响的儿童了，这是唐纳德·特朗普总统8月在阿拉斯加会见俄罗斯领导人时亲手递交的。
“他写了回信，表示愿意与我直接接触，并概述了关于居住在俄罗斯的乌克兰儿童的细节，”她周五表示。
梅兰妮·特朗普说，随着冲突的继续，她的代表一直在直接与普京的团队合作，帮助与家人失散的儿童团聚。
“俄罗斯已经表现出愿意披露反映当前形势的客观和详细的信息，”她说。
第一夫人还表示，她收到了一份关于八名团聚儿童的“详细报告”，以及美国政府确认的文件中包含的事实。
“对我来说，这是一项重要的举措。它建立在共同的目标和持久的影响上，”她说，并补充说，在不久的将来，让更多的孩子团聚的计划正在“进行中”。
“一个孩子的灵魂没有国界，没有旗帜，”她说。“我们必须为我们的孩子创造一个充满潜力、安全和完全自由的未来。一个梦想将会实现而不是因战争而褪色的世界。”
Melania Trump says she and Putin communicating about children affected by war
First lady Melania Trump announced Friday that she and Russian President Vladimir Putin have had an "open channel of communication" regarding children impacted by the Russian-Ukraine war.
"We have agreed to cooperate with each other for the benefit of all people involved in this war," she said in brief remarks delivered from the Grand Foyer of the White House.
"In fact, eight children have been rejoined with their families during the past 24 hours," she added.
The first ladyhad written a letter to Putinstating it was time to protect the children impacted by the yearslong war, which was hand-delivered by President Donald Trump when he met with the Russian leader in Alaska in August.
"He responded in writing, signaling a willingness to engage with me directly and outlining details regarding the Ukrainian children residing in Russia," she said on Friday.
Melania Trump said her representative has been working directly with Putin's team on reunification of children separated from their families as the conflict continues.
"Russia has demonstrated a willingness to disclose objective and detailed information reflective for the current situation," she said.
The first lady also said she was provided a "detailed report" about the eight children who were reunited and the U.S. government-confirmed facts contained in the documents.
"This is an important initiative for me. It is built on shared purpose and lasting impact," she said, adding that plans are "underway" to reunify more children in the near future.
"A child's soul knows no borders, no flags," she said. "We must foster a future for our children which is rich with potential, security and complete with free will. A world where dreams will be realized rather than faded by war."
