Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin has proposed banning citizens of countries that permit gender reassignment from adopting Russian children. He argues that Western laws on gender identity put children at risk.

Volodin emphasized that Russia prohibits non-traditional relations and sex reassignment surgery for adoptive parents.

A decision is expected following discussions in the parliamentary commission.
