Seven more Ukrainian children have been returned home from the Russian Federation, the White House reports.
The children—six boys and one girl—have been reunited with their families in Ukraine.
“My dedication to guaranteeing the safe return of children to their families in this region is unwavering. I commend the leadership and persistent diplomacy of Russia and Ukraine in the pursuit of the reunification of children and families. Their bridge-building has created a tangible collaborative environment—an anchor for optimism. This cooperation will continue to drive the process forward through the next phase,” said U.S. First Lady Melania Trump.
She added that, in close partnership with her representative, they provided humanitarian support from the United States to improve the outcomes of the family reunification initiative.
“My hope is that, ultimately, our collective efforts will lead to broader regional stability,” she said.
