My ex-partner called to say that my daughters wanted to wish me a happy birthday. In eight long years, nothing like this had ever happened. The following day, on the 30th of July, she wrote in a Viber message that she had asked them to make the call and claimed to have sent a parcel containing photos and letters from Anthie and Alexandra, as described in her message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"690\" src=\"https:\/\/actionagainstchildabduction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Viber-Message-from-Liudmila-Trafimovich-2025.07.30.webp\" alt=\"Viber Message from the Abductor, Liudmila Trafimovich, Destroy the Bond, Chilling Indifference\" class=\"wp-image-83153\" srcset=\"https:\/\/actionagainstchildabduction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Viber-Message-from-Liudmila-Trafimovich-2025.07.30.webp 900w, https:\/\/actionagainstchildabduction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Viber-Message-from-Liudmila-Trafimovich-2025.07.30-300x230.webp 300w, https:\/\/actionagainstchildabduction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Viber-Message-from-Liudmila-Trafimovich-2025.07.30-768x589.webp 768w, https:\/\/actionagainstchildabduction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Viber-Message-from-Liudmila-Trafimovich-2025.07.30-16x12.webp 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Gesture of Kindness with Chilling Indifference<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>I didn\u2019t know whether to cry or laugh.
