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.

I calculated once that the Soviets lost, on average, over 2000 men a day in WWII.

I’m not sure the Russian women are just going to up and have lots of kids if they know that Putin is simply desiring more cannon fodder.

I’m betting I could impregnate some. However, I’m 56, so my sperm are drunk and unfit to carry my luggage.

In reality Putins been encouraging couples to have children long before this conflict...clear back to the break up of the Soviet Union when the population of Russia began shrinking.

Additionally Since 2007, extra money has been given to parents on the birth of their second and third children. A special prize – the Order of Parental Glory – was established in 2008....Parents with seven or more children (biological or adopted) are invited to the Kremlin and receive the medal from the president himself.

Do you even have thoughts of your own, or do you just repeat slogans and talking points? Are you ever able to admit to a mistake or see that sometimes facts don’t align with ideology?
