In a TV report aired by Russia’s state-owned Rossiya-24 on Monday, the family confirmed the now-widespread reports the children were raised as Spanish-speaking Catholics and explained how the children took the news.
Dultsev said their daughter “cried a little bit.” Their son was more calm and took the news “very positively.”
Dultseva said that after their arrest in 2022, Argentina had reportedly wanted to take their children away, but Slovenia did everything to keep them in the country “for us to be together.”
