Russian Foreign Ministry noted the support of the Iraqi authorities in the return of Russian children

This is stated in the comments on the website of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

“We count on their further assistance in resolving the issues of evacuation of the remaining Russian children in Iraq,” the report says.

Earlier it became known that the IL-76 aircraft from Iraq with 30 Russian children on board landed at the Moscow airport.

In November, Anna Kuznetsova, the ombudsman for the rights of the child under the Russian president, said that there are more than 100 Russian children in Iraqi prisons.

Kuznetsova said that some of the children were not found relatives. Relatives of some more did not want to take the children to themselves.
