People are all saying the same thing about Melania Trump's apparent 'peace letter' to Vladimir Putin.
On Friday (August 15), Putin met with Donald Trump for the first time in years to discuss Russia's ongoing war with Ukraine.
Since returning to office in January, Trump has pledged to bring an end to the devastating conflict which has killed or injured almost 1,000,000 Russian soldiers since 2022, CNN reported.
Meanwhile, almost 14,000 Ukrainian civilians have been killed in the war, over 700 of which were children (per Statista).

In light of how many children have lost their lives in the conflict, First Lady Melania Trump wrote a letter to Putin as her husband met the Russian leader in Alaska to discuss ending the bloodshed.
The note was said to have been hand-delivered to Putin by Trump.
The letter, dated August 15, reads: "Every child shares the same quiet dreams in their heart, whether born randomly into a nation’s rustic countryside or a magnificent city-center. They dream of love, possibility, and safety from danger.
"As parents, it is our duty to nurture the next generation’s hope. As leaders, the responsibility to sustain our children extends beyond the comfort of a few.
"Mr. Putin, you can singlehandedly restore their melodic laughter. In protecting the innocence of these children, you will do more than serve Russia alone—you serve humanity itself."
Melania concluded the letter stating that 'it is time' to end the war and signed off the letter — and it's this signature that's got people talking.
One person pointed out on Twitter: "Anyone know when Melania's signature morphed into Donald's signature?"
Echoing similar sentiments somebody else queried: "Lol did Trump forge Melania’s signature?"
A third argued: "This isn't even Melania's signature! The letter to Putin was completely made-up! Someone forged her signature!"
"So, Melania’s signature looks awfully familiar," a different person said of the first lady's letter, implying that it has an uncanny resemblance to that of the POTUS'.
"I’m no handwriting expert per sé, but that 'Melania Trump' signature at the bottom looks a lot more like Donald’s jagged scribble than his wife’s smooth cursive," added another on social media.
UNILAD has approached the White House for comment.
In regards to how Trump's meeting went with Putin, despite his wife's extremely emotive letter he failed to reach an agreement with him.
Reportedly Trump did make some 'great progress' however, BBC News reports, but he didn't share any details about the apparent progression.
