FIRST LADY MELANIA Trump has written Russian President Vladimir Putin a letter imploring him to “serve humanity himself” and urging him to restore peace to Ukraine – without mentioning the country. 

In her letter, which her husband US President Donald Trump then posted to his social media platform Truth Social, the former model and mother of one wrote: “as parents, it is our duty to nurture the next generation’s hope”.

She said that every child shares the same “quiet dreams in their heart”, no matter the location they are born to, and dream of love and safety. 

“Undeniably, we must strive to paint a dignity-filled world for all – so that every soul may wake to peace, and so that the future itself is perfectly guarded,” the First Lady wrote.

“A simple yet profound concept, Mr. Putin, as I am sure you agree, is that each generation’s descendants begin their lives with a purity – an innocence which stands above geography, government, and ideology.

“Yet in today’s world, some children are forced to carry a quiet laughter, untouched by the darkness around them — a silent defiance against the forces that can potentially claim their future. Mr. Putin, you can singlehandedly restore their melodic laughter.”

She added that in “protecting the innocence of these children”, Putin will serve both Russia and humanity itself. 

“Such a bold idea transcends all human division, and you, Mr. Putin, are fit to implement this vision with a stroke of the pen today.

“It is time,” she concluded the letter.
