The fourth issue of the bulletin on the activities of the Russian Federation Presidential Commissioner for Children's Rights to protect children during a special military operation is available on our website – in Russian and English. In the document we: ➡️ provided an update on the interim results of humanitarian efforts to ensure safety and support of children and families, including «To the children's hands» headquarters, «The Day after Tomorrow» shifts and the development of infrastructure in regions affected by hostilities; ➡️ presented more details on how the work to reunite children with their loved ones is organized; ➡️ added a section on the list of 339 individuals handed over to the Russian delegation during the negotiations in Istanbul in the summer of 2025; ➡️ expanded the chapter on international cooperation – with the collaboration with the First Lady of the United States of America Melania Trump, previously with the State of Qatar; ➡️ updated the sections on our operating principles and examples of assisstance to families; ➡️ supplemented the chapters on disinformation surrounding the topic of child protection. We have updated the appendices with stories of children being reunited with their loved ones in Russia, Ukraine and other countries where we have been able to help. I am hopeful that the channel of communication with the American side, established with the assistance of Kirill Dmitriev, Special Representative of the President of the Russian Federation for Investment and Economic Cooperation with Foreign Countries, will make it possible to continue assisting families affected by the current conflict, as well as to convey information about the true state of affairs to the international community. The first issue of the bulletin was published in April 2023. The decision to prepare such a document was taken following numerous inquiries from Russian and foreign journalists regarding assistance for children and families. The work continues.
