Melania Trump’s call for protecting innocence

“As parents, it is our duty to nurture the next generation’s hope,” she continued. “As leaders, the responsibility to sustain our children extends beyond the comfort of a few.”
“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 letter read. “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.”

The first lady added, “In today’s world, so`me 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. In protecting the innocence of these children, you will do more than serve Russia alone—you serve humanity itself.”
She concluded, “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.”
Attorney General Pam Bondi, sharing the letter, said, “She speaks from the heart of every American in calling for a world where children, regardless of where they are born, can live in peace.”

Donald Trump rates Alaska summit ‘10 out of 10’
Following the meeting at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, President Trump called the summit “extremely productive” and rated it “10 out of 10,” while cautioning that an end to the war in Ukraine was not yet imminent.

“There were many, many points that we agreed on, most of them, I would say,” Trump told reporters. “A couple of big ones that we haven't quite gotten there, but we've made some headway. So, there's no deal until there's a deal.”
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky announced that he will meet with Trump in Washington, DC, on Monday, August 18, to discuss next steps. “On Monday, I will meet with President Trump in Washington, DC, to discuss all of the details regarding ending the killing and the war. I am grateful for the invitation,” Zelensky wrote on X.
Thank you for the support! All the points mentioned are important to achieve a truly sustainable and reliable peace. We see that Russia rebuffs numerous calls for a ceasefire and has not yet determined when it will stop the killing. This complicates the situation. If they lack… pic.twitter.com/bkTXwjMSnX
