The Russian diplomatic department noted that all attempts by the United States to position itself as “the leading defenders of children’s rights” are not supported by law, stressing that the intercountry adoption process in the United States is “extremely corrupt” and “subject”. to the neocolonial political conjuncture”.
The diplomats called the adoption of Russian children in the United States a “regrettable” practice in which there were “numerous cases of serious violations of the rights of underage citizens of Russia.” The Russian Foreign Ministry recalled the ban on this practice since 2013.
