President Putin signed an anti -Sirot law. This was reported on the Kremlin website. A few minutes after the signing of the law, the hashtag #Putinestads led the top of the most discussed topics in the Russian -speaking Twitter.
The law entered the presidential administration the day before. Putin said that he intends to sign it, but he plans to "study the document." "I have already received this law from the Federation Council today. I still see no reason why I should not sign it, although I have to see the final option and weigh everything there," Putin said at a meeting of the State Council.
“I intend not only to sign the law, but also by the president’s decree on changing the order of support for orphans, children left without parental care, and especially those who are in a particularly difficult situation, I mean their state of health,” Putin added.
According to Putin, the American authorities do not give Russian representatives access to adopted children and "" behave defiantly. " "In the world, there are probably many places where the standard of living is better than ours. Well, and what, will we send all the children there? Maybe we will move there?" - added Putin. “Of course, it is necessary to support the proposal aimed at making everything inside their own country in order to ensure a worthy future of all our children, including those left without parental care, or orphans,” Putin said.
He stated that "we have worthy examples in our country." “In the Caucasus, for example, we will take the same Chechnya, which has passed through the period of difficult trials the most recently: there were a lot of people there, and there were many other tragedies - there are practically no abandoned child,” Putin said. At the same time, he added that "this does not mean that the Russian people, the Russian person does not have such internal motives."
On December 20, at a press conference, Putin confirmed that he supports the ban on the adoption of orphans by the Americans, the question is only in the form. The introduction of this ban is an “emotional but adequate answer” to the “Magnitsky Law”, he said. “According to sociological surveys, the vast majority of citizens are negatively related to the fact that foreigners adopt our children,” Putin said. “We need to do this ourselves, stimulate the transfer of orphans to families.”
