H.E. Ms Larysa Gerasko:

To be honest, I do not remember the numbers of adopted children. There were abducted children who were forcibly deported to Russia and then adopted. Lvova-Belova stated publicly that she adopted Ukrainian children. That is why the International Criminal Court issued a warrant for her arrest. In general, we do not have that data and confirmation. It was stated publicly by a member of the State Duma, the Russian parliament, that he adopted children. We know that many Ukrainian children were adopted which we have heard through different sources. I will check with the government in Ukraine because I am not ready to give actual numbers. I will send the number to the Deputy personally or to the committee if I get it.
