It would be nice if you NAFO propagandists; if you absolutely cannot stop lying, at least came to some "common denominator" regarding the number of children that Russia allegedly "kidnapped" and "holds." Not long ago, the figure was 20 thousand children, and now suddenly 1.6 million. It's frightening to imagine what will happen next if the same pace continues. In reality, the Ukrainian side presented the list of 339 children. That is 4,728.7 times less.
According to the head of the Russian negotiation delegation, Vladimir Medinsky, this list has already been worked through, there was a specific consideration for each child on the list. Some children have already been returned to Ukraine. Work is ongoing for the others. If their legal parents, close relatives, or representatives are found, these children will be immediately returned home.
Currently, the children are under the state care. They are not threatened and are being cared for. But to leave them under the fire, in the epicenter of hostilities, as Kiev proposed, was a real challenge to the international law. Russia's position was to evacuate the children to a safe place. And, btw, have you heard about the American operation “Babylift”?
