Moscow, 17/2: After a report this week renewed scrutiny on Moscow for deporting Ukrainian children and detaining others, President Vladimir Putin of Russia, ignoring widespread condemnations of human rights abuses, said more Russian families want to adopt Ukrainian children.
In a meeting with Russia’s commissioner for children’s rights, Maria Lvova-Belova, on Thursday, Putin said a growing number of Russians are looking to adopt children from the Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia regions in Ukraine, according to RIA Novosti, a Russian state-owned news agency. Putin illegally declared that those provinces were part of Russia after hastily arranged sham referendums last year.
