They are being seized for absurd reasons: the Russian Foreign Ministry warned Russians about the risks in the United States

The Russian Foreign Ministry strongly recommends that Russian citizens, and especially citizens, carefully weigh all risks when traveling to the United States. The reason is the increased frequency of detentions on charges of "kidnapping" their own children while being exported from the United States.

"We are talking about the detention of Russian citizens in the United States, primarily Russian women, on absurd charges of kidnapping minor children born in marriages with Americans," the Foreign ministry explained. — Russian citizens and, above all, compatriots who find themselves in similar life situations are strongly advised to carefully weigh all risks when traveling to the United States. And it is better to refrain from them."

The diplomatic department noted that there are many examples, the stories are quite revealing. So, this spring, upon arrival at the New York airport, a woman was detained, whom her ex-husband accused of illegally exporting their daughter. The police were not at all confused by the fact that there is a dash in the "father" column of the American-style child's birth certificate, and the police acted on the basis of the DNA examination results presented by the ex-spouse.

The second child of the Russian woman, for whom she flew to the United States when she was detained, was with her father, the diplomatic department said.

"By and large, if you call a spade a spade, we are talking about the capture of a Russian woman hostage in order to return her daughter to the United States," the Russian Foreign Ministry stated.

The Russian Foreign Ministry noted that the Russian side will demand that the American authorities release the compatriot, ensuring her reunification with her children.

"This conflict situation must be resolved in a civilized legal form," the Foreign Ministry stressed. — As for the daughter, she currently lives in Russia has a grandmother who, taking into account all the circumstances, is assisted in obtaining custody through the Commissioner for Children's Rights under the President of Russia."
