|

Less
The controversial law, which bans Americans from adopting Russian children, comes into effect after Russian President Vladimir Putin approved the measure on December 28.
The Russian Parliament's latest step, which will see the revocation of a Russian-American agreement on adoption issues, threatens to further heighten tensions between Moscow and Washington.
The so-called Yakovlev law will allow foreign adoptions only if the child in question has not been claimed by a Russian family first.
The Russian Parliament's latest step, which will see the revocation of a Russian-American agreement on adoption issues, threatens to further heighten tensions between Moscow and Washington.
Before signing the law, Putin had called the measure a legitimate response to a recently signed US law calling for
sanctions against alleged Russian human rights violators.
The bill was unanimously approved by all 143 members of the upper chamber of Russia's parliament on December 26.
