Reports say that President Donald Trump has given a letter to Vladimir Putin personally, which is from the First Lady, Melania Trump, during their high-profile summit in Anchorage at Alaska. The letter reportedly concerns the ongoing crisis regarding the abduction of the Ukrainian children, which has drawn global condemnation. An arrest warrant for Putin is already been released by the International Criminal Court, as he has been accused of war crimes over the deportation of children from different territories of the country, which is primarily illegal
Several officials from the White House have confirmed that Trump delivered this particular note during his meeting with Putin, which went on for three hours at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson. And the letter from Melania Trump has eventually hailed her as the undercover agent in this case, with her being influential things behind the scenes, and also impacting her husband’s stance toward Ukraine became clear.
Though what’s exactly written in the letter cannot be derived, however, its delivery to Vladimir Putin reflects on Melania’s interest in Eastern European affairs. She is Slovenian-born and hardly appears in public, especially when it is about a political matter, and generally focuses on humanitarian efforts like her “Be Best” campaign. Since she has been choosy about her public appearances and also maintains a distance from her husband’s political affairs, people often speculate about her private views.
During her initial term as the First Lady of US in 2018 she, during her visit to Texas migrant facility, wore a jacket and read – “I really don’t care, do u?” This incident went viral on a global scale and also gave rise to a debate about her engagement in political issues. On the other hand, President Donald Trump has acknowledged the fact that her wife has pushed him to pursue peace in Ukraine.
“My conversations with him [Putin] are always very pleasant. I say, isn’t that a very lovely conversation? And then the missiles go off that night,” Trump said last month. He further stated, “I go home, I tell the first lady: ‘I spoke with Vladimir today. We had a wonderful conversation’. She said: ‘Really? Another city was just hit’.”
Despite the symbolic gesture of Melania’s letter, the summit itself ended without a breakthrough. Both Trump and Putin described the talks as “productive” but revealed no concrete progress. Trump stressed, “There’s no deal until there’s a deal,” while Putin insisted on addressing what he called the “root causes” of the conflict.
Melania’s letter to Putin shows that it's not only DJT fighting for peace!

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky condemned being excluded from the discussions. Before the summit, he said: “Everything concerning Ukraine must be discussed exclusively with Ukraine. We must prepare a trilateral format for talks.”
Observers also noted the physical condition of both leaders. Putin appeared fatigued and slow-moving, while Trump drew attention for his uneven walk and visibly swollen ankles. Despite speculation, the White House insists Trump remains “in excellent health” following his April 2025 medical exam. The Anchorage summit underscored both Melania’s unexpected role in shaping her husband’s diplomatic priorities and the persistent challenges in finding common ground to end the Ukraine war.
