Zelenskyy brings Melania Trump a letter from his wife
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy opened his one-on-one meeting with President Donald Trump on Monday, Aug. 18, by thanking a quiet ally: first lady Melania Trump.
Despite the fact that Melania did not travel with her husband for his summit with Vladimir Putin last week, the first lady did send a personal letter to the Russian president pleading for peace on behalf of the children in Ukraine and Russia who are suffering amid the ongoing war.
Zelenskyy told Trump that both he and his wife, Olena Zelenska, were moved by the letter, saying, 'many thanks to your wife, first lady of the United States,' and presenting him with a letter to give her in return.
'It's not to you, [it's] to your wife,' he cautioned, earning a laugh from the U.S. president and gathered press.
In her Aug. 15 letter, Melania wrote, '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.'
In her letter, the first lady implored Putin to protect the 'innocence' of the children in the war-torn countries. People
