The US Senate Foreign Relations Committee supported on Wednesday bills aimed to designate Russia as a state sponsor of terrorism, to improve the process of seizing Russia's immobilized assets to support Ukraine, and to impose sanctions against Chinese companies for their alleged support of Russia’s military.
"We regard this legislative initiative as an attempt to undermine the dialogue established between Russia and the United States, including on the issue of reuniting children who, for various reasons, lost contact with their families during the conflict in Ukraine," Zakharova said in a statement.
US First Lady Melania Trump recently joined this process of family reunification, confirming that Russia is demonstrating a willingness to provide objective and detailed information about the children, the spokeswoman said.
"We believe that establishing direct contact with the American side will not only facilitate family reunification but also inform the international community about the real situation," Zakharova added.
