Officials did not want to disclose the contents of the letter.
US President Donald Trump handed him a letter from his wife Melania during a meeting with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin in Alaska.
This is reported by Reuters.
According to the publication, the U.S. first lady touched on the situation of children in Ukraine and Russia in the letter.
"Officials did not want to disclose the contents of the letter, except that it mentioned the abduction of children as a result of the war in Ukraine. The existence of the letter had not been previously reported," Reuters wrote.
Deportation of Ukrainian children
After the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Russian authorities launched a massive campaign to forcibly remove Ukrainian children to Russia. The occupiers took children away from their families so that they could be illegally adopted by Russians.
It was the deportation of Ukrainian children that prompted the International Criminal Court in The Hague to issue an arrest warrant for Russian dictator Vladimir Putin and Russian children's rights ombudsperson Maria Lvova-Belova.
Many children taken from Ukraine are illegally transferred to foster families or placed in orphanages, Ukrainian ombudsman Dmitry Lubinets reported. According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), Russia has caused millions of Ukrainian children to suffer and violated their rights since the war against Ukraine began.
Washington intended to shut down a program to search for Ukrainian children in Russia
On March 19, the Donald Trump administration shut down a program to track Ukrainian children forcibly removed to Russia, which had been searching for them and collecting other evidence of alleged crimes by Russian forces in Ukraine. The decision meant the loss of access to large amounts of information, including satellite images and biometric data of some 30,000 Ukrainian children abducted from Ukraine, Reuters reported.
After just eight days, however, amid media reports, the White House reversed its decision to curtail the U.S. initiative to document alleged Russian war crimes, particularly cases of children illegally taken from Ukraine to Russian territory.
