The Guardian reported the information. Speaking about his relationship with the Russian president, Trump said: “My conversations with him [Putin] are always very pleasant. I say, isn’t that a very lovely conversation? And then the missiles go off that night.”He added: “I go home, I tell the first lady: I spoke with Vladimir today. We had a wonderful conversation. She said: Really? Another city was just hit.”As The Guardian noted, social media in Ukraine erupted with memes celebrating Melania. One viral image showed “Agent Melania Trumpenko” wearing a blazer with Ukraine’s trident insignia, her face half-shadowed under a wide-brimmed hat — as if she were an undercover agent inside the White House working in Kyiv’s interest.Agent Melania Trumpenko pic.twitter.com/rVzf6tJfvJ— Kate from Kharkiv (@BohuslavskaKate) July 14, 2025 Melania, who grew up in the former Yugoslavia, has shown more public support for Ukraine than her husband. The Guardian recalled how, shortly after Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, she urged her social media followers to donate to the Red Cross, calling the situation “heartbreaking and horrific to see innocent people suffering.”Business Ukraine magazine, also cited by The Guardian, noted that “there is a lot of love on social media tonight for Melania Trump” following the U.S. decision to send additional Patriot air defense systems to Ukraine. The outlet reposted a popular meme in which Melania is symbolically inducted into the circle of Ukraine’s foreign supporters.There’s a lot of love for Melania on Ukrainian social media tonight after Trump revealed that the US First Lady has zero time for Putin’s endless lies pic.twitter.com/sjRYwzFApo— Business Ukraine mag (@Biz_Ukraine_Mag) July 14, 2025 One meme even depicted Melania standing behind Trump in the Oval Office with the caption: “Sisters Melania of the Bene Gesserit” — a nod to the secretive, politically influential sisterhood from Frank Herbert’s Dune.
