EU chief calls for Russia to return every Ukrainian child it abducted

She emphasized that the human losses in Russia’s war against Ukraine must come to an end.

"That means every single Ukrainian child abducted by Russia must be returned to their families. I thank POTUS for his clear commitment today to ensuring these children are reunited with their loved ones," von der Leyen wrote.

In this way, the head of the European Commission responded to a post by US President Donald Trump on Truth Social, in which he spoke about their conversation and called the return of the children the top priority. In this post, he mentioned his discussion with the European Commission president, noting that:

"This is, likewise, a big subject with my wife, Melania. It is a subject at the top of all lists, and the World will work together to solve it, hopefully bringing them home to their families," the US President stressed.

It should be recalled that recently US First Lady Melania Trump sent a letter to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin through her husband, the US President. In it, she raised the issue of the safety and well-being of many children, which, in her view, Putin could ensure "with the stroke of a pen."

We also reported that in the United States, Russia and Belarus may be designated as state sponsors of terrorism over the regular abduction of Ukrainian children.
