Let's move on to other news. Two children, taken to Iraq by parents, who had joined militants, returned to Grozny. Adlan Dakaev and Khedizha Khusenova spent more than a year in Mosul. They were in an orphanage after their parents died.

Yesterday they were brought to Moscow, and today to the capital of Chechnya. Artur Mustaev has the details, we're holding a teleconference now. Artur, hello! How are the children feeling? Did they need rehabilitation? Hello! The children feel great, they don't need rehabilitation, yet. The two children, taken from Mosul, have finally regained their homeland.

They are Russian citizens, Khedizha Khusenova and Adlan Dakaev. They are 8 and 9 years respectively. As before, they were brought back by Ziad Sabsabi, tasked by the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov. Having examined the children at the airport, doctors said that their condition was satisfactory.

 

We can see how they're feeling. They are glad, smiling. They know they are in their homeland, their birth place.

Yesterday they were in Moscow. Thank God, there was no trouble. We're deeply grateful to Ramzan Akhmatovich and Aimani Nesievna.

Without their help and support we wouldn't have been able to return even one child. We hope that this support will continue. A plane from Baghdad landed in Moscow last night, and today the children arrived in Grozny. Among those who came to the airport there were many officials and relatives of the children who had gone through the atrocities of war because of their parents' rash acts.

The head of Chechnya called it the final of the tremendous work. He stressed that people risk their lives to save even one child, taken to their doom by their own parents. It is unknown how many children remain under the ruins of Aleppo, Mosul and other cities. In his Instagram account Ramzan Kadyrov pointed out that continuous demands of the government and divines to the region's residents to influence their sons to prevent their leaving for Syria and Iraq to join the Islamic State were not always heard and satisfied.

However, children are not responsible for being brought to the hell of someone else's war. That's why we'll continue the work as long as there is a possibility to save at least one child. Masha? Artur, thanks. It was our correspondent from Grozny, Artur Mustaev.
