Reply to comment by openly_gray in Russian diplomat Vasily Nebenzya insists Ukrainian children will be returned once it is safe to do so by green_flash

Well, if they wanted to, they could still return them to Ukrainian orphanages.

That's not something that should be stopping them from returning the children. There is zero reason why these Ukrainian children should be in Russia rather than in Ukraine, the only possible exception being if their closest relatives are in Russia.

If they are from territory annexed by Russians, then technically Russia would consider them Russian. Returning them to Ukraine contradicts that position unfortunately
