Trump, according to the British newspaper, told on Monday in the Oval Office of the White House that he came home and told the first lady that he had a great conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin, to which she said:"Oh really, so another Ukrainian city has just been hit".

Such Trump comments suggest that Melania Trump has a far greater influence on her husband's political thinking than many would think, the Times assesses.

She recently spent a lot of time outside of Washington, at the Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, as well as Trump Tower in New York to be close to son Barron, who is a freshman at New York University.

As stated in May,  The first lady has spent a total of less than 14 days in the White House since Trump's inauguration, according to the London daily.

Her background is the explanation for the interest in the war in Ukraine

Her interest in the war in Ukraine can be explained by her origin, as she was born behind the"Iron Curtain" in 1970, in former Yugoslavia, according to the Times.

Melania has previously expressed admiration for Ronald Reagan, the president who helped end the Cold War.

She also often speaks to her son Baron in Slovenian, and both have kept their EU passports.

" Melania's affection for Ukraine is not at all surprising considering that she grew up in the former Yugoslavia, a country where there is no love for Russia," said the author of the book about Melania Trump, Mary Jordan.

She added that Slovenia, where the first lady was born, is in favor of Ukraine and that the people there are shocked that the US suddenly does not want to arm Ukraine anymore.

Melania has previously expressed dissatisfaction with the war in Ukraine

There is also evidence that Melania has previously expressed dissatisfaction with the war in Ukraine, the newspaper writes.

She said the killing of innocent civilians was"horrible and heartbreaking" and urged her followers on social media to donate to the Red Cross, adding that her thoughts and prayers were with the Ukrainian people.

Despite the plethora of national security advisers and foreign policy analysts Trump has at his disposal, it seems that his wife's voice may be the most important of all, according to the British newspaper.

" Trump listens to certain people about certain things. He especially listens to those who are really close to him, and especially if their last name is Trump," says Mary Jordan.
