Last week, during a call with European leaders, President Donald Trump announced that he intends to meet in person with Russian President Vladimir Putin this Friday. This announcement comes as Trump has grown increasingly frustrated with Putin. Last month, Trump announced that North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies will finance the purchase of Patriot missile defense systems and other weapons for Ukraine, his most significant move yet to support Kyiv in a war with Russia he’s long hoped to end.
In this Friday meeting with Putin, it is imperative that Trump ensure that the return of nearly 35,000 children Russia has illegally abducted is a nonnegotiable condition in any peace agreement.
