During Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit to Alaska, US President Donald Trump handed him a letter. This letter written by Trump's wife Melania Trump has now surfaced. Melania has mentioned the condition of children in Ukraine and Russia in the letter. She has also appealed to Putin to rise above the government and ideology and think about the innocence of children.

Melania did not discuss the war in the letter, but told Putin that if he wanted, he could bring back the lost laughter of children trapped in the conflict. Melania wrote, 'By protecting the innocence of these children, you will serve not only Russia but also humanity. You can help these children with a stroke of a pen.'

Dear President Putin,

Every child has the same peaceful dreams in his heart, whether he is born in the countryside or in the center of a magnificent city. They dream of love, possibility and protection from danger. As parents, it is our duty to nurture the hope of the next generation. The responsibility of nurturing our children as leaders extends far beyond the comfort of a few. We must strive to build a dignified world for all so that every soul can wake up in peace, and its future self fully protected.

Mr. Putin, I am sure you too will agree that every generation of descendants begins their lives with a purity. An innocence that transcends geography, government and ideology. Yet in today's world some children are forced to keep a quiet laughter to themselves, untouched by the darkness around them. Mr. Putin, you alone can restore their sweet laughter. By protecting the innocence of these children, you will serve not just Russia, but all of humanity. Such a bold idea transcends all distinctions. You can make this vision a reality with a stroke of the pen.
