Andriy Yermak, head of the Ukrainian president's office, expressed confidence in an interview with DW on August 29 that direct peace talks at the level of heads of state between Moscow and Kyiv will inevitably take place sooner or later. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to him, Ukraine will emerge victorious in this process. Yermak stated that currently, the international community is demanding that Russia be brought to the negotiating table. He emphasized that this is exactly where Ukraine will achieve victory. Additionally, in New York, he met with U.S. President's special envoy Stephen Biegun and confirmed Kyiv's readiness to hold a face-to-face meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian leader Vladimir Putin. He mentioned that on August 18, during bilateral talks between Zelensky and Trump in Washington, this issue was also discussed along with negotiations involving leading European countries. However, no clear signal has been received from Russia regarding readiness for the agreed meeting at the White House. For this reason, the Ukrainian side once again emphasized its constant readiness for constructive cooperation. Kyiv's goal is not only to advance the diplomatic process but also to achieve political victory. This topic is expected to provoke active discussions on the international stage in the coming weeks.

Argentina President Javier Milei was stoned during a pre-election meeting held in the city of Lomas de Zamora in the southern part of the country's capital, Buenos Aires. This was reported by Zamin.uz. The head of state's press secretary shared information about the incident on social media. According to official sources, the president was not injured; security personnel quickly protected him and escorted him to a safe location. According to AFP agency reports, this incident occurred against the backdrop of a corruption crisis involving the president's sister and close associate, Karina Milei. Witnesses emphasized that protesters were in the car with the president's sister during the attack. Their vehicle and other cars following it were attacked with stones, plants, and glass bottles. After leaving the scene, a clash broke out between the president's supporters and opponents. It is currently known that at least one supporter was injured in the ribs and was taken to the hospital with medical assistance. These events have led to further escalation of the political situation in Argentina, intensifying conflicts during the pre-election processes. The public and observers are closely monitoring the developments in the coming days.

Tang Weixua, a 55-year-old Chinese mother, turned to a new method to find her son who disappeared without a trace 26 years ago. This was reported by Zamin.uz. Her son, Wan Lei, was taken by unknown individuals in 1999 when he was four years old. The mother offered her apartment in Shanghai as a reward to anyone who could help find him. This decision was reported by the South China Morning Post. According to Tang, the apartment belonged to her late grandfather, and her greatest wish is to see her grandchild again. Through this offer, she hopes to encourage anyone truly willing to help. The real estate market in Shanghai is very expensive, with the average price per square meter starting at 100,000 yuan. Tang and her husband have spent over four million yuan so far searching for their child but continue their search every year without losing hope. The man with the surname Lu, who kidnapped their son, was arrested in 1999 and sentenced to life imprisonment. However, due to good behavior, he could be released in 2022. Although Tang feels hatred towards him, she monitors his and his family's actions every year, trying to obtain some information about her child's fate. So far, the information she has received has not yielded results. In 2021, the Chinese government launched a program called "Tuanyuan" to identify hundreds of abducted children. This initiative calls on citizens who suspect anything about their children to provide DNA samples to the police. Tang Weixua's long-term search has sparked great interest and sympathy among internet users. One of them left a comment expressing gratitude to the mother for using all possible means to find her child and wished her health and happiness. They emphasized that regardless of where her son is, only good wishes are meant for the mother. Tang Weixua never loses hope and tries all possibilities to find her child. This story touches hearts not only in China but worldwide, reminding us once again of the value of patience and hope.

The President of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, will meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin in the People's Republic of China. This was reported by Zamin.uz. This was announced by the Russian leader's aide, Yuri Ushakov. According to Ushakov, after Putin concludes official talks with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, he will hold a series of bilateral meetings. Among them, cooperation development and expansion of bilateral relations with Uzbekistan's President Mirziyoyev will be discussed. Shavkat Mirziyoyev will pay an official visit to China from August 30 to September 3 at the official invitation of Xi Jinping.

China played a significant role in achieving victory over fascism in this war, restraining Japanese forces for many years, and forming the international anti-fascist front. This visit will serve to strengthen Uzbekistan's position on the international stage and provide an opportunity to further develop relations with the country's strategic partners.

For the first time in South Korean history, the spouse of a former president has been officially charged and arrested. This was reported by Zamin.uz. Kim Gon Hi, the wife of the country's former president Yun Sok Yol, has been held in investigative detention since August 12, 2025. Although she has not yet been formally charged, if charges are announced, she could remain in custody for up to six months. Yun Sok Yol was previously arrested on charges of organizing a coup d'état. Recently, on August 29, a special prosecutor also formally charged former Prime Minister and acting president Han Doksu. This situation marks a new phase regarding political crimes and corruption in the country. According to the special prosecutor's office, Kim Gon Hi has been interrogated five times during the investigation but has refused to provide statements each time. Her charges include fraud related to shares of Deutsch Motors company between 2009 and 2012, accepting expensive gifts, and illegal interference in the candidate selection process for parliamentary elections. Additionally, another prosecutor accuses former Prime Minister Han Doksu of aiding the insurgents and falsifying official documents. The court rejected the request for his detention, but according to the prosecutor, Han Doksu held a high state position, had the ability to annul the illegal military situation, and his actions were within the law. These events hold historical significance in South Korea's political and social life. The country's population and experts are closely monitoring these cases, as they are seen as a new signal against corruption and abuses of power within the state leadership.

Since the beginning of the 21st century, India and the United States, considered strategic partners, have experienced an unexpected serious chill in relations. This was reported by Zamin.uz. President Donald Trump's doubling of tariffs on Indian products dealt a significant blow to bilateral relations. According to the new decision effective from August 27, 2025, the US increased tariffs on goods imported from India by up to 50%. Previously, an additional 25% penalty tariff was added to the existing 25% tariff imposed for purchasing Russian oil. As a result, tariffs on clothing, jewelry, precious stones, sports equipment, furniture, and chemical products sharply increased. Renowned political analyst Fareed Zakaria, in his analysis for The Washington Post, explained Washington's decision and emphasized that the direction of US foreign policy has fundamentally changed. According to him, Trump's move could be seen as breaking the strategic partnership policy built over 25 years by previous administrations and may go down in history as the biggest mistake of his presidency. After the Cold War, US-India relations developed steadily. President Bill Clinton's visit in 2000 laid the foundation for bilateral cooperation. During the George Bush administration, Washington viewed India as a key partner to balance China's rise and reached a historic agreement on the nuclear program. The Obama administration supported India's candidacy for permanent membership in the UN Security Council and increased trade volume. During Trump's era, the defense bloc QUAD, consisting of the US, Japan, Australia, and India, was further strengthened. Under the Joe Biden administration, economic cooperation expanded further, and India continued to work closely with the US in many sectors. However, Trump's new tariff policy may sharply change bilateral relations. Although he called the Indian economy "dead," India is actually one of the fastest-growing major economies in the world in recent years. Currently, it ranks fourth globally by gross domestic product and is expected to surpass Germany by 2028, becoming the third-largest economy after the US and China. According to Zakaria, Trump's policy contradicts US interests in Asia and could undermine Washington's strategic dominance. The new tariffs pose a significant problem for thousands of small manufacturers and exporters in India. Although the country's Ministry of Commerce has not issued an official statement, some officials have announced financial support for affected sectors and are exploring opportunities to enter new markets such as China, Latin America, and the Middle East. According to data from the Global Trade Research Center, orders for Indian products in the US could shrink by up to 90%. The Indian government has stated that the direct impact of the tariffs could affect export volumes worth 48 billion dollars. In 2024, the trade volume between the two countries amounted to 129 billion dollars. If the new tariffs remain, a significant decrease in trade volume is not unlikely. The US government views India's purchase of Russian oil as aiding Moscow in financing the war in Ukraine. In response, India criticized the "double standards" and reminded of the ongoing trade between the US and Europe with Russia. This conflict is causing further complications in relations between the two countries.

Recently, significant developments have occurred in the fields of biology and genetics. This was reported by Zamin.uz. The most important among them are the creation of a universal vaccine against cancer and the development of a new technology called “mirror life.” Liam Chitayat, a graduate student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Kate Adamala, an associate professor at the University of Minnesota, published an extensive article on this topic in the American Foreign Affairs journal. The article emphasizes that biological life is a complex, unique system based on precise laws and rules. In current organisms, proteins are mainly composed of left-handed amino acids, and DNA consists of right-handed sugars. “Mirror life” or reverse life form means the creation of molecular components in a completely reversed state. Researchers warn that such organisms can easily evade the immune system. This could lead to the emergence of new, untreatable infections. It is noted that there is no natural mechanism to control such reverse cells, and existing antibiotics are likely ineffective against their structure. Thus, if such synthetic organisms arise accidentally or intentionally, they could bypass human biological defenses, resist treatment, and disrupt ecological balance. Additionally, “mirror life” could change human understanding of nature and evolution. This technology offers the opportunity to better understand how life evolved on Earth and the forms of life on other planets in the Solar System. However, experts recommend taking precautions considering the potential future risks of such innovations. According to experts, these scientific discoveries could open new evolutionary stages for humanity. At the same time, strict adherence to ethical and safety regulations in the use of innovations is essential. This is crucial to ensure the safety of humans, animals, and the natural environment.

US President Donald Trump congratulated Americans on Labor Day and tried working at a McDonald's restaurant in Pennsylvania. This was reported by Zamin.uz. In the photo, Trump is wearing a white shirt and red tie, with an apron over them, waving to drivers from the drive-thru window. This situation shows that he can also operate among ordinary citizens. In October 2024, when Trump was still a presidential candidate, he served for half an hour at a McDonald's in the city of Fisterville. He prepared several portions of French fries and paid for orders for guests himself. Trump expressed satisfaction with the working process and stated that he aims to try such experiences again in the future. Labor Day is celebrated annually in the US on the first Monday of September. This holiday began with the first parade held in New York in 1882. In 1887, the state of Oregon declared the first Monday of September an official day off, and in 1894, Congress recognized it as Labor Day nationwide. Trump's experience working at McDonald's is regarded not only as part of his personal activity but also as a simple and sincere approach to the Labor Day holiday. This event serves as a clear example of the president's effort to stay close to the people and test himself in a public environment.

Turkey's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan announced that Ankara has completely suspended all economic and trade relations with Israel. This was reported by Zamin.uz. Additionally, the country's airspace will be closed to Israeli aircraft. The minister emphasized that Turkish ships will no longer be allowed to enter Israeli ports. Speaking at a parliamentary session, Hakan Fidan stated that Israel's military strikes against the Gaza Strip, Lebanon, Yemen, Syria, and Iran constitute acts of terrorism against the international community. These actions pose a serious threat to regional security. In May 2024, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan announced the suspension of trade relations with Israel due to the Gaza war. According to official data, the volume of trade between the two countries in 2023 amounted to 6.8 billion dollars, with 75 percent corresponding to Turkish exports. Recently, Israeli media reported that Turkish ports require certificates confirming no connection to Israel and that they do not accept military or hazardous cargo. Furthermore, on November 13, 2023, Erdoğan officially announced the suspension of Turkey's diplomatic relations with Israel. Ankara's firm decision has brought relations between the two countries to a new level and is causing significant changes in the geopolitical situation of the region.

A citizen living in the state of Wisconsin, USA, was found to have faked his own death in order to escape the country and meet his girlfriend abroad. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to sources, he will be held in custody for approximately three months. Reports indicate that he pretended to have drowned in a kayak, leaving behind his wife and three children. He then set out to meet a woman living in the state of Georgia and left the country. During the court proceedings, he was found guilty of providing false information to law enforcement agencies and was sentenced to 89 days in jail. Interestingly, this period matches the time during which he deceived people. Additionally, in court, he agreed to pay $30,000 for the labor and expenses incurred during the investigation. In court, he stated, “I deeply regret the mistakes I made at that time and the pain I caused my family and friends.” During the investigation, it was discovered that he had obtained a new passport before his disappearance, which indicated to investigators that he had prepared a fake plan about his death to flee the country.

A woman living in China found her mother, who had been missing for more than 30 years, live on air. This was reported by Zamin.uz. This event was covered by the South China Morning Post. A 32-year-old girl named Yan works at a shoe factory in the city of Wenzhou. Recently, while participating in a live broadcast on a short video platform, she saw a woman named Su. Su is 52 years old and is known on social media as "Looking for my second daughter," and has been trying to find her daughter since 2022. Yan was adopted in childhood and did not know her biological family. As she grew up, she decided to search for her parents. When she saw a woman resembling herself during the live broadcast, she commented, "I might be your daughter." Su encouraged Yan to contact the police. With the help of the police, they got in touch, and DNA analysis confirmed that she was the mother’s daughter. In an interview, Su said that her daughter was the youngest child in the family and that due to financial difficulties, she had to give her to relatives. Later, Yan was adopted by another family. So far, Yan has not revealed her decision about returning to her family. According to data, as of June 2022, with the help of China’s DNA-based search system, 11,198 missing children have been reunited with their families. The story of Yan and Su once again confirmed the importance of this system in human lives.

The Government of the Republic of Turkmenistan plans to completely ban tobacco smoking within the country by the end of 2025. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to official sources, this decision is being made to protect the health of the population and to prevent various diseases. According to data from the World Health Organization, Turkmenistan's population is approximately 7 million people, of whom only 7 percent consume tobacco products. This figure is among the lowest in Central Asian countries. The country has been implementing a strict policy against tobacco products for several years, and the results are noticeably evident. In recent years, there has been a significant decrease in the number of smokers. In this process, promotional campaigns, restrictions on the sale of tobacco products, as well as educational programs conducted in schools and workplaces play an important role. Anti-smoking laws are strictly enforced not only in private spaces but also in public places, workplaces, institutions, and transportation vehicles. Medical specialists in Turkmenistan also support this initiative. According to them, the reduction in the number of smokers is important not only for preventing respiratory diseases but also for preventing heart disease, stroke, and cancer. These measures serve to improve the health of the country's population.

US Vice President J.D. This was reported by Zamin.uz. Vance stated that he is ready to assume the position of head of state if any serious situation arises with Donald Trump.

Also, on August 6, Donald Trump stated that J.D. Vance might be nominated as the Republican candidate in the 2028 presidential elections. In conclusion, Vance demonstrates that he is not only a reliable partner but also a politician ready to take responsibility when necessary. The main point is that Trump is physically stable and the administration is prepared for any situation.

Turkey's Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan announced that the country has imposed strict restrictions on sea and air traffic with Israel. This was reported by Zamin.uz. From now on, Israeli ships will not be allowed to enter Turkish ports. Likewise, Turkish ships are also prohibited from using Israeli ports. Container ships carrying weapons to Israel will not be allowed into Turkish territory at all. Turkey accuses Israel of the casualties in Gaza and calls on the international community to take measures against it. Earlier this year, Ankara also halted all trade relations with Israel. Recently, Turkish port authorities began requiring agents to confirm that ships have no connections with Israel and are not carrying dangerous cargo there. Hakan Fidan also stated that Turkey is ready to send aid to Gaza by air. According to him, the planes are currently prepared, but permission is awaited from regional officials.

Turkey firmly expresses its position and is calling on the international community to put pressure on Israel.

The year 2025 is remembered as the most severe season in history for forest fires in Europe. This was reported by Zamin.uz. Since the beginning of the year, more than one million hectares of forest area in the European Union have been engulfed in flames. This situation has caused significant damage to nature and ecological systems. According to statistics from “Euronews,” the area affected by fires has increased fourfold compared to last year. Experts compare the damaged area to the size of the island of Corsica. This year, over 1800 fires were recorded in European forests, releasing more than 38 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Among the 27 EU member states, only the Czech Republic, Estonia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, and Malta were not affected by fires. The highest number of fires occurred in Italy and Romania, with over 450 cases recorded in each country. Additionally, significant ecological losses were observed in Spain and Portugal. In Spain, more than 400 thousand hectares, and in Portugal over 260 thousand hectares of forest burned to ashes. This accounts for approximately 3 percent of Portugal’s territory. Experts believe that the main causes of the fires are extreme heat and prolonged drought. Climate change and high temperatures create conditions for rapid fire spread. Even a small spark can turn into a large fire, posing a serious threat to humans and nature. To prevent fires, scientists and ecologists recommend regularly clearing bushes, removing dry and dying plants, and properly organizing livestock farming. Moreover, it is important to consider that even after a fire is extinguished, its consequences—especially smoke and respiratory diseases—continue to pose health risks. Thus, 2025 has been recorded as a record year for Europe in terms of the number of forest fires and the area damaged. Although the season is not yet over, the threat to nature and the population remains. Strengthening fire prevention measures and ensuring ecological safety are of great importance.

The city of Enerhodar in Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia region is considered a very important area for the country's energy system. This was reported by Zamin.uz. The city hosts Europe's largest nuclear power plant. After the Russian invasion, control over the city was lost, resulting in Ukraine losing a significant amount of electricity. According to experts, this situation poses a serious threat to the energy security of the entire country. There is also strong concern among the population because fighting continues around the nuclear power plant, which could lead to major accidents. International organizations emphasize the necessity of ensuring the safety of the nuclear facility. The Ukrainian government considers retaking Enerhodar a strategic task. According to them, this is not only a matter of energy supply but also national security. Without Enerhodar, Ukraine's electrical grids are under great pressure. Experts note that the country is activating other energy sources, but this is only a temporary solution. Therefore, retaking Enerhodar and ensuring the safety of the nuclear power plant is of great importance.

Official information has been released about the first detection of chikungunya fever in Russia at the beginning of 2025. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to representatives of Rospotrebnadzor, the patient is a man who returned to Moscow from Sri Lanka, where he had spent ten days on vacation. After returning to Russia, he visited a doctor one day later due to feeling unwell. Initially, dengue virus was suspected in the patient, but after thorough tests, chikungunya virus was identified. Currently, the patient is being treated at an infectious diseases hospital, and his condition is assessed as moderate severity. As emphasized by Rospotrebnadzor specialists, necessary anti-epidemic measures have been taken, and there is no risk of disease spread among the population. This is because chikungunya fever is not transmitted from person to person; it spreads only through insect bites. The number of insects carrying this virus in Russian territory has not reached a dangerous level. Additionally, the "Perimeter" special system has been implemented at state borders to monitor passengers. This system allows for the rapid and effective identification of individuals showing infection symptoms. Authorities urge the public not to be alarmed, as all preventive and control measures are being carried out. The case of chikungunya fever detected for the first time in Russia is being specially noted in medical practice.

A 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee, Irina Zarutska, was stabbed to death on a train in North Carolina. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

This event once again prompted discussions in society about safety and justice issues.

A new direction has emerged in trade between Russia and the United States. This was reported by Zamin.uz. In July 2025, Russia exported chicken eggs to the USA for the first time. This was reported by “RIA Novosti” based on data from the American statistical service. According to the data, in July, the United States purchased eggs worth a total of 455 thousand dollars from Russia. During that month, the USA imported eggs worth a total of 16.5 million dollars, with Russia entering the list as a new supplier. Among the egg supplying countries, Brazil leads with products worth 8.8 million dollars. Mexico exported eggs worth 3.9 million dollars, and India exported eggs worth 933 thousand dollars. Additionally, in July, the USA imported eggs worth 518 thousand dollars from Saudi Arabia for the first time. Officials noted that the recent widespread avian influenza in the USA has caused a shortage of eggs in the local market. As a result, egg prices have doubled compared to last year. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, if tests from birds infected with avian influenza come back positive, they are culled en masse. This measure is applied to prevent the spread of the disease. Analysts believe that Russia’s export of eggs to the USA may create new market opportunities for the country. At the same time, it indicates an expansion of trade relations between the two countries. It once again demonstrated the importance of daily consumer products like eggs in the global market. This also emphasizes how crucial food security is.

French traveler Sofian Sehili, who traveled by bicycle from Portugal to Vladivostok, was detained in Russia. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to the French publication Le Monde, citing its sources, he was attempting to break the world record for the fastest crossing of Eurasia by bicycle but is accused of crossing the border illegally. 44-year-old Sofian Sehili is a documentary filmmaker. He has focused his career on cycling since 2012 and has participated in nearly twenty grueling races during this time. He has won eleven of them. Among these, he also took part in the Tour Divide race, which spans 4,500 kilometers from Canada to Mexico. This year, Sehili announced his goal on social media. He planned to break the record for the fastest crossing of Eurasia, set in 2017 by German cyclist Jonas Deichmann. The journey began on July 1, 2025, from Cabo da Roca in Portugal and reached Vladivostok in 64 days, two hours, and twenty-six minutes. However, his route encountered various difficulties. At the end of July, Sehili entered Chechnya through Georgia and crossed the Russian border. Later, he left Russia via the Astrakhan region, passing through Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, and Mongolia. His next destination was China, where he temporarily halted his journey. According to the traveler, he was stopped by Russian customs officers at the China-Russia border. He announced this on September 2 in an Instagram story. However, there is no clear information about his subsequent fate. According to Le Monde, Sehili is deeply regretful that he could not complete his journey's final stage. He wrote that facing failure near the finish line breaks the heart. He has now been given ten months to consider either making another attempt to break the record or stopping. At the same time, he emphasized that this attempt could also end in lifelong failure.

A person died as a result of a large shark attack in Sydney. This was reported by Zamin.uz. The victim was attacked by a shark while swimming with friends at Long Reef beach. Rescuers brought him to shore, but they were unable to save his life. It is known that the victim had been in the water for only half an hour, and the attack occurred about 100 meters from the shore. Several popular beaches in the Northern Beaches area were temporarily closed following the incident. Experts have stated that these beaches may remain closed for 24 to 72 hours. The police are conducting an investigation to determine the exact species of shark involved in the attack. The last fatal shark attack in Sydney was recorded in 2022. On average, about 20 such incidents occur annually in Australia. This event once again reminded the country of the danger posed by sharks. People need to exercise increased caution along the coast.

The Finnish government has initiated a deportation process for Russians who arrived in the country after Russia's war against Ukraine began. This was reported by Zamin.uz. According to the Finnish police, from January to September 2025, 104 Russian citizens whose political asylum applications were rejected have been expelled from the country. This was reported by the publication "Vot Tak" on September 5. Official data indicates that the number of deportations has increased significantly this year. The main reason for this is the prolonged delay in processing asylum applications. Over the past two years, interviews with applicants were not conducted, with only some cases undergoing investigations. Activists have appealed to the Finnish ombudsman and filed complaints. Only at the end of 2024 did the interview process begin, says Maksim Aliyev, an activist of the "Kemi Against War" movement. According to him, about 90 percent of Russian applicants received rejection letters after the initial interviews. Many have appealed to the Supreme Court of Finland and expressed their readiness to reapply for asylum. The majority of rejections relate to citizens avoiding conscription. According to the Finnish Migration Service, in May 2023, at least 1,109 Russians sought asylum to avoid military conscription. However, officials rejected their applications and stated that mobilization in Russia had ended. Documents cited statements from then Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu and President Vladimir Putin as justification. However, critics emphasize that there is no official decree to halt mobilization. Thus, the fate of Russian refugees in Finland remains uncertain. Authorities say that many applications will continue to be reviewed in the coming months, and the number of rejections may increase.

An unusual incident occurred in Russia. This was reported by Zamin.uz. French tourist and cyclist Sofian Sexili was detained in Vladivostok on charges of illegal border crossing. This was reported by the prestigious French publication “Le Monde”. According to information, the athlete aimed to travel by bicycle across Eurasia and set a world record. His route started from Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, with Vladivostok as the destination. However, the travel plan encountered an unexpected problem. On September 2, customs officers at the China-Russia border stopped him and accused him of violating the law. Sexili attempted to enter Russian territory twice. Each time he tried to cross at different points located about 200 kilometers from the border. But both attempts ended unsuccessfully. Sofian Sexili was born in 1981. He previously worked on filming documentaries, then stopped directing to focus on sports. At the age of 44, he began undertaking long bicycle journeys to challenge himself. So far, he has participated in about 20 major competitions, winning 11 of them. Experts believe that Sexili’s journey was aimed not only at setting a personal record but also at developing sports tourism in Eurasia. However, the incident in Russia became a major obstacle to his plans. Currently, an official investigation is underway regarding the French athlete. His fate and the outcome of his future trips remain unknown for now.

During the Syrian civil war, thousands of children were separated from their parents and placed in various orphanages and institutions. This was reported by Zamin.uz. In some cases, they were not handed over to their relatives, their documents were altered, and they were kept in unfamiliar places. Currently, many families remain unaware of whether their children are alive or not. According to investigations by the BBC and international organizations, at least 323 children were secretly separated from their relatives. One of the institutions that received the most children is the SOS Children’s Villages International organization located in Austria, where some former employees reported that the identities of the children were changed and contact with them was not permitted. Although the organization partially denies these allegations, it expressed regret over the fate of the children. The SOS leadership announced that an independent investigation will be conducted regarding the illegal separation of children from their parents in institutions in Syria. Currently, hundreds of mothers continue to search for their children. They visit one institution after another, trying to find their children. The new government in Syria has also begun to investigate this issue, but due to a lack of resources, no definitive results have been achieved yet. International cooperation and comprehensive investigations are considered necessary to resolve this problem.
