Trump must demand Putin return stolen kids
'I believe I could, yes,' he said, when asked if he could convince President Vladimir Putin to return the more than 19,500 Ukrainian children Russia has abducted during its three-year full-scale invasion.
'It's pretty tough stuff, but I believe I could do that.'
On Friday, he'll have his chance.
The Aug. 15 Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska offers the perfect moment for the president to raise this issue directly — and to make it unmistakably clear that freeing Ukraine's children must be a prerequisite to any peace deal. NY Post contributor Katya Pavlevych shares this story.

Putin praises ‘heroic' North Korean troops fighting in Ukraine, as two countries forge closer military ‘bonds'
Russian President Vladimir Putin heaped praise on North Korean troops fighting in Ukraine as 'heroic' in a letter penned to Kim Jong-un, North Korean state media reported. The two nations have been forging closer ties since Putin's war in Ukraine, with Kim deploying more than 12,000 North Korean troops to fight alongside Moscow. 4 Kim and Putin have grown closer since the war in Ukraine. KCNA/EPA/Shutterstock Advertisement 'The bonds of military friendship, goodwill and mutual aid, which were consolidated in the days of the war long ago, remain solid and reliable even today,' Putin wrote in the letter marking the anniversary of Korea's liberation from Japanese rule on Aug. 15, 1945, when both nations fought side-by-side. 'This was demonstrated by the heroic participation of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's soldiers in liberating the territory of the Kursk region from the Ukrainian occupiers,' he said. 4 At least 12,000 North Korean soldiers have been sent to the front lines of the war in Ukraine. KCNA/EPA-EFE/Shutterstock Advertisement Pyongyang's wave of soldiers — many inexperienced in modern warfare — helped Russia retake the Kursk region following Ukraine's surprise counter-invasion last summer, which had left the Kremlin humiliated. 'The Russian people will keep forever the memories of their bravery and self-sacrifice,' Puttin added, according to the Korean Central News Agency, which reported the letter on Friday. 4 Kim is reportedly gearing up to send even more troops to fight alongside Russia, according to intelligence reports. AP The Russian strongman said the two countries would continue to 'act jointly and effectively defend their sovereignty and make a significant contribution to establishing a just and multi-polar world order.' Advertisement Putin's letter came alongside a visit to Pyongyang by a Russian delegation, thanking Kim for sending 'excellent soldiers' to Ukraine. Kim said he spoke with Putin by phone Wednesday, agreeing to increase cooperation and keep 'closer communication' between their countries. 4 Putin called the North Korean troops 'heroic' in a letter this week. AP Last month, South Korean intelligence warned North Korea was set to send 30,000 more troops to aid in Putin's war machine, while estimating the hermit kingdom was now supplying almost half of Russia's ammunition for its invasion. Advertisement The two leaders signed a mutual defense pact last year, when Putin visited the reclusive state, that was hailed as their strongest connection since the Cold War.
