Six Ukrainian children will be returned from Russia and reunited with their families, with a seventh expected later this month, US officials said. The effort was supported by First Lady Melania Trump as part of ongoing humanitarian initiatives. Ukraine claims thousands of children have been taken during the war, making such returns significant but rare amid continued disputes and limited cooperation between the two sides.
