Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

Russia's Federation Council has approved bills outlawing adoption of Russian children by citizens from countries that allow gender transitioning. The legislation also bans 'child-free propaganda' and imposes hefty fines. This marks a continuation of policies promoting traditional values in response to Western liberal ideologies. Lawmakers argue these measures protect children from perceived dangers and combat declining birthrates. These bills now await President Putin's signature, reflecting an ongoing trend of restricting LGBTQ+ rights and promoting conservative family values amidst tensions with the West.
