Six more children are being reunited with Russian and Ukrainian families, according to statements from Washington and Moscow on Thursday. The reunifications are attributed to efforts led by the U.S. first lady, Melania Trump. The news was reported from both capitals.

One child will return to Russia and five will be reunified with families in Ukraine, per Maria Lvova-Belova, Russia’s presidential commissioner for children’s rights, in a Telegram post. The exact ages and identities were not disclosed.

Melania Trump had written to Russian President Vladimir Putin in August about Ukrainian children separated from their families due to the war. Ukraine has accused Russia of abducting thousands of children, a claim Moscow denies.

Desdobramentos

The White House confirmed that discussions with both countries continue, noting that this marks the third time Melania Trump has brokered a repatriation effort. Lvova-Belova thanked Melania Trump for her “unwavering commitment and active participation” in reuniting children with their families.
