With the assistance of Qatar, Russia and Ukraine will exchange thirteen children.


Katar is responsible for preparing the text about the exchange of thirteen children between Russia and Ukraine, reports Le Monde.
According to the publication, nine minors and one adult will be able to return to their families in Ukraine.
As part of this exchange, four children will also be sent to Russia. It became known that we are talking about nine Ukrainian children aged 12 to 17, and four Russian children aged 2 to 7.
All children will be greeted at the Russian Embassy in Qatar, where the exchange will take place.
This is the second exchange between the countries with the mediation of Qatar since July 2023.
Qatar became the first Arab country to receive visa-free regime with the USA. Also, Ukraine and Russia held negotiations in Qatar on an agreement that was supposed to stop strikes on energy facilities. In addition, Qatar entered into long-term agreements on the supply of LNG to the countries of the European Union, which will allow it to replace the import of gas from Russia.
