In a letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin, first lady Melania Trump urged him to think about the future for world's children

President Donald Trump met with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday for peace talks regarding the Ukraine war.

The US president said a peace agreement would be better than a "mere" ceasefire, hours after summit with Putin that produced little.

The remark from the US President comes a day ahead of his meeting with Ukraine President Zelensky and European leaders in Washington DC over ending Ukraine war.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he will meet U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington on Monday after a Russia-U.S. summit concluded without an agreement to stop the fighting in Ukraine after 3 1/2 years.

Government documents with details about meeting schedules and seating charts − as well as an extravagant menu − were accidentally left in a hotel printer.

The First Lady pled with Russia's president to "singlehandedly restore [the] melodic laughter" of unnamed, presumably Ukrainian, children.

In particular, cutting off the “shadow fleet” of tankers that deliver Russia’s oil under the radar would send the war economy into a “deep financial crisis,” according to Robin Brooks, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and former chief economist at the Institute of International Finance.
