Russia is preparing to accept a number of Syrian refugees – mainly middle class people fleeing war and terrorism, and seeking a peaceful existence in a stable environment, according to the Kremlin.
Russia’s Ombudsman for children’s rights, Pavel Astakhov, has announced on Wednesday that Russia was planning to accommodate Syrian refugees.
“Our territory, culture, history, and social situation are able to meet this challenge… After the beginning of the Donbass conflict, we were ready to take in all residents of Ukrainian orphanages. There are currently 90,500 Ukrainian orphans in Russia at this moment,“ Tass quoted Astakhov.
The Ombudsman stated that refugees should not be forever dependent on social programs, but given the opportunity in Russia to become a part of society.
Astakhov stated, “Today we have another category of refugees. It is mainly people with middle incomes who are primarily seeking peace. You need certain labor and education conditions, and here the European governments must make an effort.”
