Kiev has turned the accusations into a show for \u201csoft-hearted Europeans,\u201d Moscow\u2019s top negotiator has said<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ukraine must stop making false claims about alleged \u201cchild kidnapping,\u201d<\/em> which it uses to stage a media show aimed at \u201csoft-hearted Europeans,\u201d<\/em> Vladimir Medinsky, the head of Russia\u2019s delegation at the Istanbul talks, has said.<\/p>\n

Medinsky made the remarks following the second round of negotiations with Kiev\u2019s delegation on Monday. He told journalists that Ukraine had submitted a list of 339 children affected by the conflict.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis list shows, unfortunately, that the Ukrainian authorities have staged a show,\u201d<\/em> he said. \u201cIn reality, we are talking about dozens of children \u2013 none of whom were abducted. Not a single one. These are children saved by our soldiers, at the risk of their own lives, pulled from combat zones and evacuated.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWe are looking for their parents,\u201d<\/em> he added. \u201cWhen parents are found, we return them.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

According to Medinsky, Russia has returned 101 children to Ukraine in recent months, while Kiev has returned 22.<\/p>\n

Moscow has said it evacuates children from the conflict zone to save their lives, but has faced accusations from both Kiev and the West that it \u2018abducts\u2019 them.<\/p>\n

The Russian authorities have also stressed that displaced children are not adopted in Russia, and that they are only put under guardianship or foster care to make sure they are taken care of before a return to their families can be facilitated.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis shameful PR campaign must end,\u201d<\/em> Medinsky said.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery child will eventually be reunited with their parents. All families will be brought back together \u2013 on both sides. We are working on it. It is a matter of honor.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
