Vladimir Putin signed a law banning the adoption of Russian children by citizens of countries where sex change is legal.

The list includes Spain, Italy, Germany, Belgium and Switzerland, as confirmed by State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin.

For the Kremlin, the measure protects children and traditional values.

For human rights organizations and Western governments, it is a discriminatory decision disguised as child protection.

Is it a legitimate way to protect minors or a political excuse to discriminate? 🤔
