Wow - letter from Melania to Putin

She appears to have attended the same signature training school as her esteemed husband.
I was only joking

Perhaps Melania will receive the Peace Prize.
That would be epic.

I don't understand the letter. What the fuck is she talking about? That children are involved in the war in Ukraine? What exactly does she want Putin to do?
It is in the nature of everyday war that children are involved. Just as people of all other ages are involved. Putin is aware of that. Does she really think that "but think of the poor children" is an impactful message?
Or is this about the child abduction things that happened in Ukraine?

There are two points to the letter.
The first is that it is addressed exclusively to Putin; the other belligerent in the war is not a recipient. The second, the one you in fact pointed out, is that Putin is an indicted war criminal by ICC for kidnapping Ukrainian children and holding them or illegally adopting them out to citizens of Russia against their rightful parents’ or next of kin’s knowledge and will.
What is not lost on Melania Trump, a Slovene, is that Putin has single-handedly created a hatred between Ukrainians and Russians that never existed until the last decade. He alone has sowed the seeds for a future hatred akin to the one that existed and continues to exist between Croats and Serbs in the country she was raised and no longer exists - Yugoslavia.
It’s not too difficult to understand her letter. She has said more in those few paragraphs than her husband has ever said about Putin’s entirely pointless and imperialistic objective to obliterate the Ukrainian nation and its people.

Besides what Renaida said, to me the importance of the letter is that she criticizes him morally in a way her husband won’t do. That fact gives the letter (and the criticism) far more power than it would have coming from anyone else.
