First Lady Melania Trump announces the initial results from her joint collaboration effort to reunify displaced children during the Ukraine/Russia conflict.
Announcing that she holds a direct line of communication between herself and Russian President Vladimir Putin, First Lady Melania Trump also noted that a personal representative acting on her behalf (perhaps Ric Grenell) has coordinated the safe transfer process for reunification of children both from Ukraine to Russia and from Russia to Ukraine.
Mrs Trump was born in what is now Slovenia when that country was part of the former Yugoslavia. Melania Trump speaks Russian. The First Lady made the stunning announcement in the Grand Foyer of the White House. Melania told reporters “much [had] unfolded” since she sent a letter in August to Russian President Vladimir Putin regarding the fate of children who’ve been taken to Russia after being caught up in the front-line conflict. WATCH:
First Lady Melania Trump said her “representative” has been “working directly with President Putin’s team to ensure the safe reunification of children with their families between Russia and Ukraine,” starting with eight children who have been “rejoined with their families” over the last 24 hours.
Of those eight, Mrs Trump said three had been “separated from their parents and displaced to the Russian Federation because of frontline fighting” while the other five had been “separated from family members across borders because of the conflict,” with one of the five children being a Russian girl stuck in Ukraine who was repatriated to Russia.

Wonderful news!
Bless our FLOTUS.
Thank you dear First Lady Melania Trump. You are the embodiment of BE BEST!
God bless Mrs. Trump. What a national treasure she is ❤️
She is awesome.
Kudos also to Ric Grenell, last seen trying to stave off an impending fiasco in Venezuela apparently of Marco Rubio’s making. Lots of noise and ambiguity on that one.
Your post is the poster child for gossip. Where did you hear this and who said it? Do you have a link?
Or are you clairvoyant?
Or is he a Vance supporter trying to make Rubio look bad?
For one among many:

As written: Lots of noise and ambiguity on that one. There’s no end of uniparty bad actors doing their absolute damndest to ensnare PDJT in yet another war for their own dubious ends, whether sabotaging Emissary Witkoff in Iran or Emissary Grenell in Venezuela in the process. And just as Vance deserves constant vigilance for influence by Palantir interests, so does Rubio deserve same for influence by Gang Of Eight interests.
All you’ve given with this is another piece of X gossip, and it doesn’t tie to Rubio. The “one among many” is another piece of gossip trash.
You get a E for a bad trolling effort.
This is very touching. So proud of her leadership.
Just like PDJT, our FLOTUS is always working. God bless her.
Many of us already thought the First Lady is wonderful. But this goes beyond merely “wonderful.” I truly have no words for how extraordinary this is.
We praise You, Jesus, for this protection of these children! And we thank You for our President and First Lady!
Only Divine anointing could bring the results we’re seeing with both PDT and the beautiful 1st Lady in the face of such an evil world
This good woman has found her calling.
When she is in the presence of our littlest, her face reflects the Holy Spirit within her.
Melania is a rare jewel, and I have no doubt she is beloved by Almighty God.
May He bless her eternally 🙏🏻💕
If Melania was able to be President of the United States, she would probably win the election.
Democrats pushed former First Ladies Hilary Clinton and Michelle Obama on as as “qualified” POTUS candidates.
President Melania Trump would be a far more worthy cause.
Why?
She’s smart, classy, has a big heart and speaks several languages.
Because she is a naturalized US citizen, who was born in Slovenia to Slovenian parents, and is therefore constitutionally ineligible to serve.
It’d be tough between the Democrat TDS and the Republican base not supporting her stance on baby murder.
“Extraordinary” doesn’t cover it.
She is 100 % pure beauty and class all the way. Probably one of the most graceful First Lady’s ever in our country’s history.
I wonder if we’ll be seeing more of Ric since it seems diplomacy has been exhausted in Venezuela
Replaced by a louder form of diplomacy?
It seems so.
“Announcing that she holds a direct line of communication between herself and Russian President Vladimir Putin”
“The Beauty and the Beast”.
But unlike the Fairytale, this Beast has no inner beauty and will never undergo a positive transformation.
Short and sweet
This is awesome.
The contrast between her and her husband’s work to unify families and end these wars and the vile behavior of “the opposition” at home, could not be more stark.
War dehumanizes people. This is an important step towards honoring our common humanity.
President Trump has stated the number of Ukrainian and Russian “people” killed (weekly) many—many times.
He has spoken many times about the injured the suffering and the murdered… and their family members as
“human lives” .
It seems apparent both President and First Lady Trump are working in tandem.
-We Americans
and the world
are witnessing Blessings from God.
✝️❤️🇺🇸
What a wonderful comment.
Melania is doing God’s work.
God has truly blessed us with such a wonderful First Lady.
As beautiful and elegant as Mrs. Trump is in outward appearance, it is her inner beauty that shines the brightest.
May God continue to bless Mrs. Trump and everyone in her family.
Amen!
A genuine accomplishment, real world accomplishment!
She is truly our Representative for Humanity!
It doesn’t ‘ seem like “displaced” is exactly the right word here. Were the Israeli children Hamas took ever referred to as “displaced”? Maybe if one were to at least put “forced” in front of “displaced”
“As of October 10, 2025, the forced displacement and abduction of Ukrainian children by Russian authorities remains a critical and ongoing humanitarian crisis. Thousands of children have been forcibly transferred from occupied territories to Russia and Belarus, where they are subjected to Russification, military-style training, and forced adoption.
A September 17, 2025 report by the Yale School of Public Health’s Humanitarian Research Lab revealed that Ukrainian children are being held in at least 210 facilities across Russia and occupied Ukraine, many of which are engaged in “forced militarization” programs. The study used satellite imagery and open-source intelligence to document the scale and structure of this network.”
You mean Yale, home of Skull and Bones? McKay.
Note to Admin: I accidentally started typing this reply in my handle column, erased and failed to re enter “29”. Thank you.
Nonsense.
” The study used satellite imagery and open-source intelligence to document the scale and structure of this network.” lol
What does this even mean?
Oh, that is what Yale is telling us?
Could it be possible that President Putin simply whisked them out of the battle zones to have a chance to live, to be reunited with their families WHEN the fighting is done? Not to let them be part of the cannon fodder.
Yeah I don’t trust Yale but if the US did that in another country you’d immediately suggest we were kidnapping and sex trafficking them.
Not all of the children that were taken had lost their parents or caretakers so it certainly blurs the line between kidnapping and rescuing
Ukraine has been known for years as the place you go for trafficked kids, women, weapons, organs, and money laundering. They’ve been attacking ethnic Russians with bombs for over a decade and drag ethnic Ukrainians off the streets and send them off to be cannon fodder for their globalist proxy war. Old men and teenagers being sent to certain death.
Yes. There are many orphanages in Ukraine, which my choir visited long ago. It is very possible that children were whisked out of the battle zone areas for their own safety.
exactly…
“The abductions are carried out through state-organized operations, including the targeting of orphanages, filtration camps, and evacuation centers. Children are often separated from parents during forced displacement or after parents are detained or killed. Russian authorities have used decrees signed by Putin—such as one from May 2022—to streamline the adoption of Ukrainian children by Russian families and grant them Russian citizenship, effectively severing legal ties to Ukraine. Children are reportedly placed in military-style youth programs like Yunarmiya, where they undergo patriotic and paramilitary training aimed at instilling loyalty to Russia.”
Of course, as per usual, to the devout members of the Cult Of Putin , Saint Vladimir the Holy can do no wrong. They would probably even drink Kool-Aid for hm.
What are you quoting without a link to the source?
That’s a very good question.
Al Jazeera?
Let me know if you get a reply to your question.
And I’m thinking that’s a pretty big if.
Like the rinos, you can always find a way to turn a win sideways. Are you a dedicated dino or just a democrat?
AuH₂O
Barry G was a great man, however he did not help Evan Mecham at all when he was being unfairly impeached as AZ Governor in the late 80’s. NO one wanted to cross the Phoenix 40.
Barry also had a lot to do with convincing McCain to first run for Congress in Arizona after he retired from the Navy. Barry was a great Conservative, but not perfect.
Communication isn’t your strong suit, is it? You prefer hijacking posts to market your message (aka propaganda).
Have you considered starting your own blog? It would be a better use of your efforts.
Whenever I see such one-sided reporting, I always consider the source. Yale’s faculty are overwhelmingly Democrat, with a Dem to Republican ratio of 28:1. Among the social sciences and humanities, including their Dept. of Public Health, it’s even more lopsided. Only 1.1% (not a typo, ONE per cent) lean right:
https://buckleyinstitute.com/faculty-political-diversity-report-2024/
And in the interest of balanced reporting, here’s the stats from the Yale Daily News. Aside from the law school faculty, the most Dem donations are from the faculty of the School of Public Policy:
https://yaledailynews.com/blog/2024/01/31/yale-professors-donated-almost-exclusively-to-democrats-in-2023/
https://yaledailynews.com/blog/2020/11/04/large-donations-from-yale-faculty-went-almost-exclusively-to-democratic-affiliated-candidates-and-groups/
Further, Yale’s School of Public Policy, founded in 1915, became “independent” of its medical school within the last year, thanks to a $150 million endowment from Yale itself. Donors don’t fund “research” they don’t like.
Regardless of one’s views of Putin, what would be the strategy behind grabbing a bunch of Ukrainian kids to “train as soldiers”?
The risk/reward calculus is absurd.
FLOTUS and Putin are working to unite Ukrainian, AND Russian, children with their families. Let’s be happy for these innocent children and their families, ALL of them.
School of Public Health, not Public Policy. But really, what’s the difference?
I’m tired of Russia phobic propaganda. I thought that would have been over once that election fraud was out of office. Remember when opposition of the Ukraine war made you Putin’s puppet?
I’d be interested in how many of these children are Russian and under threat from the Ukrainian Government given the Ukies have been bombing ethnically Russian Ukraine citizens for over a deccade.
I’d trust Russia with Russian children way more than Ukrainians as they’ve proven their intense hatred for ethnic Russians.
We have been told that there are more than 300,000 children missing in America. Where could they possibly be?
After living through 8 years of Barry Soetoro and Big Mike, and then four years of Dementia Joe and Lady Macbeth, it is so refreshing to now have a President and First Lady we can be proud of.
They love each other, they love America, and they are both winning battles on behalf of the weak, the downtrodden and the forgotten.
They make my heart happy!
Great work, First Lady Melania!
I love that woman! What a shining example of an American woman!
Godspeed. And thank you!
She is such a class act. I hope more positive things come out of this.
My goodness, this is a big, amazing story and FLOTUS is just wonderful.
Democrats pushed former First Ladies Hilary Clinton and Michelle Obama on as as “qualified” POTUS candidates.
President Melania Trump would be a far more worthy cause. And far better qualified.
Which is why fake news lies about our beautiful First Lady when they aren’t completely ignoring her.
Apparently, it is possible for a FLOTUS to do more than send out a Tweet holding a sign that says, ” Bring back our girls.”
Who knew?
Haha you win – so true!
And all Jill could do was tell us she’s a doctor.
Yeah – hahaha. And all it is, is an honorary PhD in education or some such thing. That imbecile Whoppy Goldberg actually thought “Dr. Jill” was an MD.
Putin spoke nicely of President Trump today, all things considered. Even Politico pretty much keeps to the facts:
https://www.politico.eu/article/donald-trump-deserved-the-nobel-prize-says-vladimir-putin/
Wonderful news but there is a “glitch”. Melania stated that this agreement is for children who have turned 18 years of age. The Russians took many very young children from Ukraine. I pray this agreement begins to return the younger children as well.
Hate to turn this into a tabloid, but here’s my recollection: Putin allegedly had Ukrainian children removed to keep them out of harm’s way — not just protecting them from bombs and mayhem, but protecting them from being used experimentally in the biohazard labs, or having their organs sold.
Can’t provide sources, can’t prove this is true. Just sayin’ this is my recollection from reports early on in the war.
No, she said that children who had recently turned 18 would “also” be returned. In other words, treated as the children they were when displaced.
I hope this is true.
A few years ago, I remember reading about very young Ukrainian children being taken into Russia so they could be adopted by childless Russian couples. I hope these children are returned to their Ukrainian families.
I don’t believe that for a minute. No one who is 18 years old is a child.
So good to read this. Both she and the President are bringers of peace and help and compassion. God will bestow a prize far greater than any earthbound one on both of them for their efforts in helping humanity all across the world. God bless our First Lady, Melania.
Class Act!
Matthew 5:9 NKJV
Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God.
First Class Lady! ❤️
She is a breath of fresh air. She is the momma wolf. Do not cross her, or put her pups in danger. I love this lady more and more…
What a wonderful woman she is. Came out, said what she had to say and walked away. Very smart. A lot of our public figures could learn from her.
I loved how she completely ignored the media hyenas as she turned her back on them. That’s better than a mic drop!
Wow.
Beyond beauty – I see even better why Our President married her.
Just as the Nobel Prize committee will never acknowledge DJT’s efforts – and achievements – in seeking peace –
The msm and ‘elites’ will never acknowledge the efforts and achievements of this remarkable First Lady.
MAGA Fabulous!! I LOVE Melania! Blessings to her!!
Simply superb. I enjoyed her announcement this morning, including the back turn mic drop walkaway – no questions. This is a serious person. No one could doubt the eloquence (or sincerity) of that initial letter she had passed to Putin.
I don’t know how to put this into words, but I don’t believe there is an official job description for the role of the First Lady. I think Melania Trump has provided an outstanding role model of how a First Lady conducts herself in this office. Her support for our President and her compassion for these displaced children due to the Ukraine/Russia war is a great start.
Loved also that the First Lady turned her back on the press and quietly returned to her offices with the doors being perfectly closed behind her.
It’s a great combination of mean tweets from her husband and quiet dignity from her. Take that fake news!
First Emissary!!
The situation is not as simplistic as many believe.
Read
Back to the former Soviet Union
What motivates these emigrants and their children, after years in Germany, to move to a place where their families suffered decades of humiliation, persecution and oppression? Where does the sudden enthusiasm for Russia come from?
evangelicalfocus dot com
The idea that the Russians are the bad guys and those in the EU and UK are the good guys and those in Ukraine innocent victims is very far from the truth. Many European politicians and the maintream media reporters are absolute scoundrels.
Compare this wonderful example to the example of Mr. Mike who put up a little sign on her lap and a pout on her mug for the return of Christian girls kidnapped by muzzie animals.
My mom is Slovenian, my dad Croation…. This event led by Melania is bigger than anyone (except this site associates) thinks
lovely lady big heart
God Bless her.. She is such a treasure to this country.. Thank You Melania.. And Thank You Sundance for sharing this with us peasants I doubt it will make the news circus tonight..
I love it! Walk off and leave the hyena barking in the wind!
Well done, First Lady, well done.
This is very touching,GOD bless First Lady Trump,
Remember when Melania was seated next to Putin at the G20 2017 Summit in Germany? I can’t find the video of Melania talking and Putin laughing, but here’s one video of the scenario. Although it was never acknowledged that she spoke Russian, it was acknowledged that the had other language(s) in common. I always laughed at PDJT & First Lady Melania getting the best of the rest of the attendees. She’s always been his secret weapon😇
I don’t go the supermarket that much, but while waiting in line to check out, I seldom if ever see the displayed tabloids with Melania as the feature photo… it’s usually Dolly Parton, Hilldog, or some other witch and or warlock
