Moscow-Kiev agreement for the exchange of 48 children. Russian Deputy Defense Minister arrested

A Russian and a Ukrainian delegation had a face-to-face meeting in Qatar, where they agreed on the exchange of 48 children.

This was announced by Maria Llova-Belova, the Russian commissioner for children's rights, quoted by the Ria Novosti agency. Under the agreements, 29 children will return to Ukraine and 19 to Russia.

Meanwhile, Kiev leader Volodymyr Zelensky has confirmed that new military aid from the United States is on the way.
«The key now is the speed of implementation of agreements with partners on the supply of weapons for our warriors. The speed with which all Russian plans to evade sanctions are eliminated. The speed in finding political solutions to protect lives from Russian terrorism,” Zelensky said. Adding: “Every leader who wastes no time is a lifesaver. Every state that can act quickly safeguards the rules-based world order. I thank all those - continued Zelensky - who help our people in the world to restore a normal life after the Russian attacks. I thank all those who help our warriors defend the cities and villages of Ukraine from Russian evil."

In the meantime, news arrives from Moscow of the arrest of Deputy Defense Minister Timur Ivanov. The accusation would be that of corruption, but according to other sources Ivanov will have to answer for treason.
