Russia is working on an exchange of children with Ukraine
According to the Russian state news agency RIA Novosti, Russia is working on an exchange of children with Ukraine. 16 children from Ukraine are to be brought to Russia and ten children are to be reunited with relatives in Ukraine, the agency reported, citing the Russian Commissioner for Children's Rights, Maria Lwova-Belova.
"We have a clear mandate from the president that we only work with full legal representatives, that is, with relatives and parents who have legal standing and can care for their children," said Lwova-Belova, referring to President Vladimir Putin. Through these channels, 95 children have currently been reunited with their relatives in Ukraine and 17 children have returned to Russia.
According to the Ministry of Reintegration, Ukraine has so far brought back 1,277 children, including through non-governmental organizations and its own initiatives. According to Ukrainian figures, more than 19,500 children were abducted to Russia or to Russian-occupied territories during the war without the consent of their relatives or guardians. Ukraine describes this as a war crime that meets the UN definition of genocide.
