His wife, Maria, was unable to travel with him due to work commitments and he said:"Every day I make video calls with my wife for one hour or an hour and a half for her to see the baby.The hotel belongs to the clinic BioTexCom, which has been trying to get the Ukrainian government to take action but the action suggested was not what they wanted.
Lyudmyla Denisova, the human rights ombudsman for Ukraine's parliament, said the images showed the country had a"massive and systemic" surrogacy industry where babies were advertised as a"high quality product".BioTexCom's founder Albert Tochilovsky said:"We were prepared for this negative reaction."The parents of only 16 babies have been able to travel to Ukraine so far.
Denis Herman, BioTexCom's lawyer, said:"The children are all provided with food, a sufficient number of employees look after them, but there is no substitute for parental care. "We try to send photos of children to the parents, we try to make conference calls, but this cannot replace communication in direct contact."
