Ukrainian chairwoman Volodymyr Zelensky on mon presented US chairperson Donald ruff a alphabetic character from the Ukrainian first lady.
Zelensky, however, told Trump that the letter is for America's First Lady, Melania Trump.
“My wife, the first lady of Ukraine, she gave the letter. It’s not to you but to your wife,” he said, according to CNN.
Last week, Trump handed a letter from Melania to Russian President Vladimir Putin at their Alaska summit.
On Saturday, the first lady's office had reposted a Fox News article on X containing the short letter, a day after Trump and Putin failed to find a breakthrough at their high-stakes meeting.
"In today's world, some children are forced to carry a quiet laughter, untouched by the darkness around them," read the letter, which was signed by the first lady and did not mention Ukraine by name, according to AFP.
"Mr Putin, you can singlehandedly restore their melodic laughter," it added. "In protecting the innocence of these children, you will do more than serve Russia alone -- you serve humanity itself."
"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," the letter read. "It is time."
