He spoke out after the Federation Council, the Russian parliament’s upper chamber, voted in favour of the so called Dima Yakovlev bill, a retaliatory response to the US Magnitsky Law imposing a travel ban to the US for Russian officials implicated in the death of lawyer Sergey Magnitsky.

      
“We encourage the government to establish a robust national social protection plan to help strengthen Russian families. Alternatives to the institutionalization of children are essential, including permanent foster care, domestic adoption and inter-country adoption,” says the official statement published on the agency’s website.
