towards those who let russian children suffer. has more on president putin's agenda. he says that he doesn't see any reason why he shouldn't sign it but he did mention that he should take one very close careful look at the final draft of this law on top of that however within has also mentioned that he is ready to sign. a law which would increase the protection of russian children in the country itself now the law bears the name. precisely like this the russian lawmakers say that the american system is not is not cut out to provide enough security for the russian children who are being adopted by american parents and should another tragedy like this strike they don't want the russian children to suffer now a lot of people see this as they get back at the americans for the magnitsky act so-called act which entails a list of people. entering the united states and their financial assets in the country also are frozen now now said the minister was a russian lawyer who was imprisoned on charges of tax evasion and died while in custody
