Today, a military plane brought children from the Roj refugee camp in Zaevfratie, Syria, to Russia. Soon, they will meet their relatives — uncles, aunts, grandparents — and live in a family environment. We are carrying out this work on the President's instructions. This time, we managed to negotiate with the Kurdish side for the transfer of 20 children aged 5 to 15. Among them are brothers and sisters. All of them speak Russian, are bringing handmade souvenirs for their relatives, and are keenly interested in their journey to Russia: the flights and the care of the adults — our military personnel gave them backpacks with school supplies. Ahead is a medical examination in a federal clinic and rehabilitation in one of Moscow's centers. Psychologists will work with the children, and relatives will be given recommendations for further adaptation. In the regions, families will be assisted by children's rights commissioners. One boy is experiencing the aftereffects of shrapnel wounds to his leg, but the health condition of the other children is not a cause for concern — they were examined by doctors en route. The operation to bring the children from Syria to Russia was supported by the military personnel of the Russian Armed Forces group in SAR and the Russian National Defense Management Center. We also managed to collect material for DNA testing from 69 more children from two refugee camps.
