Russia is ready to take 120 children out of the zone of military conflicts from Syrian territory, RIA Novosti reports.

According to Anna Kuznetsova, Children's Rights Commissioner under the President of the Russian Federation, it is planned to organize a flight for children in the near future. She noted that to date, the work on the return of children has been established, it is progressing at a fast pace. Unfortunately, sometimes the circumstances are completely unpredictable. The Children's Ombudsman added that one can never be sure that the children will be picked up.

The documents are ready for the evacuation of 120 people, but it is not known how many of them will be found on the territory of the camps. There is no guarantee that the children can be taken home. And this uncertain situation, says Anna Kuznetsova, should become a signal for action for the international community. I would like to hope that all countries will start working more actively in this direction.

It is reported that several dozen children who were previously in the zone of armed conflicts now live in Turkish and Pakistani territory. They also plan to return to their homeland when the documents are ready.

Earlier, Anna Kuznetsova asked the ambassador of Iraq to the Russian Federation, Abdulrahman Hamid Mohammed Al-Hussaini, to help with the search for Russian children who may still remain on the territory of this country.
