Statement

For the fourth time, U.S. First Lady Melania Trump has expedited the return of children to their families after being separated because of the war between Russia and Ukraine. Specifically, six Ukrainian minors currently domiciled in the Russian Federation will return to their families in their homeland nation, Ukraine.

“Reunifying children with their loved ones in this region of the world remains one of the most important global issues today. I am encouraged that both sides remain committed to ongoing cooperation, raising the safety and well-being of children above this abhorrent war.”

A seventh Ukrainian child will be brought home to family members later this month, as part of this fourth reunification facilitated by Mrs. Trump. First Lady Melania Trump and her representative remain engaged in ongoing work with Russia and Ukraine to identify and reunify those individuals who have been displaced as a result of the ongoing war.
