President Vladimir Putin said he intends to sign into a law a bill banning U.S. adoptions of Russian children, even as he plans to scrutinize the final draft of the legislation after it was approved by parliament.
Speaking at a government meeting in Moscow today, Putin said he will “weigh everything” in the bill before making a final decision, though he “intends” to sign it into law. The Russian leader also said he’ll sign a presidential decree to allocate additional resources for Russian orphans, especially those battling health problems.
