Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.[REGNUM] The plane with 23 Russian children from Syria arrived at the Chkalovsky airfield in the Moscow region. This was announced on July 3 by the press service of the Presidential Commissioner for Children's Rights Anna Kuznetsova.
The youngest of the children is one year old. All the way children are accompanied by specialists from the Federal Center for Disaster Medicine of the Ministry of Health of Russia and the N.N. Pirogov. Children will be referred to federal medical organizations for medical care.
After all medical checks and mandatory quarantine, the children will be handed over to their next of kin.
Systematic work to locate Russian children and return them to their homeland from Iraq and Syria began in 2017. It is being carried out on behalf of Russian President Vladimir Putin . In total, about 300 children have returned to Russia from "hot spots" in the Middle East.
Earlier IA REGNUM reported on preparations for the return of children from Syria to Ugra.
Background:
In Ugra, every effort is being made to return three children from Syria, who are due to arrive in the region at the end of June. This was reported to TASS by the children's ombudsman for the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug Lyudmila Nizamova .
She noted the difficulties in preparing the documentation - genetic expertise is needed.
Recall that children from the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug in Syria and Iraq appeared together with their parents who fought on the side of the “Islamic State.”
In the Middle East, residents of Ugra who joined terrorists entered into marriages, brought wives, and children were born there. Since 2017, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Health and other departments have developed an algorithm of actions, thanks to which children return to Russia.

"Today, 3 July 2021, the Autonomous Administration handed over 20 Russian orphaned children from ISIS families to the Russian Federation after signing an official repatriation document between both sides," tweeted Rojava's Foreign Relations Co-Chair Abdulkarim Omar.
The decision was also confirmed in a presser by Russia’s Deputy Commissioner for Children’s Rights, Larisa Nikolaevna, who said Moscow will continue to cooperate with Rojava officials "so that we can return every child in this camp to our country."
Countries in central Asia have repatriated more of their nationals than other states.
Russia repatriated 34 children from the camp in April, soon followed by Uzbekistan, which took back nearly 1,00 women and kiddies.
Russia repatriated 144 children in 2020, according to a December statement from the Commission for the Rights of the Child.
