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.

Maybe they can export some temporarily.
For me, it would be only 1. My wife would ensure I never did it again. Actually, she would ensure nobody ever saw me again. And if I ever stop posting, please dial 911.
I think your answer is indicative of why your side of the debate shouldn't be taken seriously. You didn't respond to my post, just made some observations about the country I came from and created an ad-hominem based on the actions of people who I have never even met. Everything is either gaslighting or attempts to intimidate.
Scram Frenchy. No one cares what a Biden supporting Canadian has to say.
Deep in his Chummy heart, he would like to be ruled by the love child of Joe Biden and Justine Trudeau...
Many in Russia's elite no longer believe Putin can win the Ukraine war

I’ve got a new deal. No article or poster is going to make me facepalm for longer than 30 seconds anymore.
“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.”
Well there are fractions and there are fractions. 999/1000 is a fraction; so is 1/1000; and anything in between. Can you be more specific?
Nice try, kid - all Fido969 has to do is ignore you for another 2 hours, then it's beddy-bye time for you.
“Scram Frenchy. No one cares what a Biden supporting Canadian has to say.”
YOU do, because you keep harping on it.
Sparky! You’re back!
You see, kid; I asked Fido for a clarification; which is not out of the ordinary because he did not clarify what he meant by fraction. If I knew what his number was, I might even agree with him. But, not knowing the number, I have no way of telling.
But, that must terrify you. As most things seem to do, given your posting history.
Can you tell us again how Putin is going to March on Berlin after 🇲🇩 taking Moldova?
“Can you tell us again how Putin is going to March on Berlin after 🇲🇩 taking Moldova?”
No, because I never made such a claim.
You see, Jon; unlike you, I don’t pull claims out of my ass.
I bet you pulled a few gerbils 🐹 out of there.
Has Poland? Europe seems rather sanguine about their coming invasion.
You have a very unhealthy fixation on the sexual, Jon. Sounds like arrested development, which would go far in explaining you.
Did I mention I don’t believe a word of that post you did about your prior experience. Just more BS coming from an olde man.
What post was that, Jon?
Nice try, kid.
