Melania Trump delivers emotional plea for peace to Putin in letter focused on children
WASHINGTON — First lady Melania Trump made a rare diplomatic gesture by authoring a personal letter to Russian President Vladimir Putin, urging him to consider the plight of children amid the ongoing war in Ukraine.The letter was hand-delivered by President Donald Trump during his meeting with Putin on Friday in Alaska.Although the letter did not explicitly mention Ukraine, which Russia invaded in 2022, it appealed to Putin’s conscience through the lens of childhood innocence.“There is an innocence which stands above geography, government, and ideology,” the first lady wrote on official White House stationery.“You have the power to singlehandedly restore the melodic laughter of children,” she continued, calling on Putin to take steps to protect children caught in conflict....

Zelenskyy to meet Trump in Washington after Alaska summit
KYIV — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will meet U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday in Washington, following the U.S.-Russia summit in Alaska that ended without an agreement to halt the war in Ukraine.The summit produced what Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin called an “understanding,” but no concrete commitments.On Saturday, Trump shifted his position, saying a comprehensive peace deal—not a ceasefire—was now the preferred path to ending the war, aligning more closely with Moscow’s long-standing stance.“It was determined by all that the best way to end the horrific war between Russia and Ukraine is to go directly to a Peace Agreement, which would end the war, and not a mere Ceasefire Agreement,” Trump posted after holding calls with Zelenskyy and...

Syrian teams contain 80% of wildfires in northern Latakia, officials say
DAMASCUS — Syrian civil defense teams have contained 80% of the wildfires raging in the Kessab area of northern Latakia province, local authorities said Saturday, as efforts continued to cool hotspots and reach remote blazes. Abdul Kafi Kiyal, head of the Civil Defense Directorate in Latakia, told the state-run SANA news agency that crews are focusing on monitoring and cooling operations in several fire zones, including Shajar al-Maabar and the Chalma junction. He said rugged terrain is hampering access to remaining fire pockets in Wadi al-Nabain near the village of al-Mashrafah, complicating full containment. Monitoring teams will continue 24-hour surveillance until all active fires are extinguished, Kiyal added.Latakia and several other Syrian provinces have been hit by recurring...
