The Department of Foreign Relations of the Autonomous Administration of North and East Syria (AANES) handed over, on Thursday, 10 ISIS children of Russian nationality to an official delegation of Russia.

The Russian delegation was headed by Elena Alexandrov, assistant to the office of Maria Lvova Belova, the office of the Children’s Rights Commissioner for the President of the Russian Federation.

The Russian delegation was received by the front man of the AANES Department of Foreign Relations, Kamal Akef.

During a presser held in the Department of Foreign Relations, Akaf said, "today we hand over 10 Russian children of ISIS members’ families to their country."

The new batch brings total toll of the repatriated Russian children to 254, according to Akef.

Akef stressed the AANES’ continuity in cooperation with Russia and all other countries which have national children of ISIS families in northeast Syria.

For its part, the Russian delegation expressed gratefulness to AANES for the cooperation in the children repatriation process.

In regard to the repatriation of the Russian children in a collective way, Alexandrov said "this issue is difficult and needs measures. Therefore, Russia will repatriate their citizens on batches."

The number of Russian children in Roj camp alone is about 100, according to the camp management.

There are more than 7,000 foreign children of ISIS orphans, with more than 50 nationalities, in addition to approximately 18,000 Iraqi children in the camps of northeastern Syria.

In July 2021, the AANES handed over 20 ISIS children to Russia, and in April 2021, it repatriated 34.
