Kuzmin called on the states to repatriate their nationals held in the camp and to take steps to prevent them from becoming stateless, adding that states should assume responsibility to protect the children in the camp and ensure their safe return home.

He affirmed that his country is actively engaged in the efforts to repatriate its children who were recruited by the terrorists as well as children whose parents have joined the ranks of extremist organizations, calling for not to politicize issues related to children and work for protecting them.
