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.

"Let us preserve and revive these excellent traditions. Large families must become the norm, a way of life for all of Russia's people. The family is not just the foundation of the state and society; it is a spiritual phenomenon, a source of morality."

"Preserving and increasing the population of Russia is our goal for the coming decades and even generations ahead. This is the future of the Russian world, the millennium-old, eternal Russia," Putin continued.

Putin's remarks come amid decades of falling birth rates in Russia that its invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent economic fallout have only made worse.

That's what happens when the Muscovites lose hundreds of thousands of men in a stupid, pointless invasion of a neighboring country.

Not saying their loses in Ukraine haven’t been major, I really don’t know, but Russia, like Italy and Japan has a birthrate lower than replacement for dying older people. Certainly the death rate in Ukraine is nothing compared to WWII loses.

How many young women can you impregnate?

[Claud]

Did *Putin* make this connection?? Because I read his quotes and he was only talking about the advantages to society of large families (which is true).

As far as I saw, the only person mentioning the war as a cause was the author going out of his way to make the connection.

Doesn’t Russia have one of the highest Abortion rates in the world?

Actually, I think it may be the highest in the world.

However, 3 days ago, Russia has decided to begin limiting access to abortions...

RE: who is supposed to impregnate all these women?

As in Dr.Strangelove the elites will bear the burden of repopulating the earth with attractive women as partners.

By the way, the US commie feminists say “keep your laws off my body” and want only a woman to have the right to choose having none or one or more children as the sole decisionmaker. Including killing the preborn if they wish.

Then their compatriots the Chinese and Russian Communists tell them all what the government’s decisions are about that all the time.

You don't need many men to impregnate a lot of women.

Anyway, the point of the story is the usually Business Insider hogwash. The percentage of Russians lost in the war is a fraction of the proportionate Ukraine losses.
