Russian President Vladimir Putin is urging Russians to have more children.
"Large families must become the norm," Putin said in a speech Tuesday.
Russian birth rates are falling amid war in Ukraine and a deepening economic crisis.
Russian President Vladimir Putin is urging women to have as many as eight children as the number of dead Russian soldiers continues to rise in his war with Ukraine, worsening the country’s population crisis.
Addressing the World Russian People’s Council in Moscow on Tuesday, Putin said the country must return to a time when large families were the norm.
“Many of our grandmothers and great-grandmothers, had seven, eight, or even more children,” Putin said.
A bit of a dark shower thought, but wouldn’t this whole terrible situation really, really benefit China who has a larger male to female population as a whole?
I think China has already been benefitting from having a useful senile neighbour for a long time, this just allows for more benefits.
The only reason China hasn’t merged with Russia is because then they would have to build an infrastructure there. >!Partially/s!<
