In addition, he said, Qatar discussed the return of so-called "status" children: orphans and children deprived of parental care.
"We emphasized that legally there is no difference between biological parents and official adoptive parents or guardians. Therefore, Russia is obliged to return children, regardless of their status. Qatar has also agreed to accept the first list of orphans and children deprived of parental care and to work on the issue of their return to Ukraine. I should note that according to our data, there may be more than 3,600 such children," Lubinets added.
The ombudsman also once again refuted Russian propaganda: Ukraine is negotiating with Qatar's mediation, and there have been no direct talks with Russia.
