Putin is urging women to have as many as 8 children after so many Russians died in his war with Ukraine
Russia's birth rates have been falling for decades, and the war in Ukraine has made it worse.
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.
I wonder if women will start getting medals for babies, like soviet times? Another question, if these women are raising 8 kids, and all the men are dead in a sunflower field south of Avdivika, who the hell is supposed to be working in Russia for the next generation? Just banking on enslaving Ukraine to pay for the cost of enslaving Ukraine?
That's why even if Russia wins the war or got some concessions, it will be a Pyrrhic victory. They're already experiencing population decline because of massive emigration aside from lower birth rate (which is why Putin is paying lip service to the conservative religious Russians to promote more birth, and in turn endeared him to conservatives across the world). The war will add to the burden of the Russian people on top of corruption and debt after the conflict.
Blood for the blood god.
Meat for the meat grinder.
Ah yes, the ol Zap Braningan Strategy.
Brilliant strategy involving sending wave after wave of your own men to die until the war magically wins itself.
Doesn't that also equate to we've managed to kill eight of your family members?
Well I wonder whose fault this was? Probably the guy who was so bloodthirsty and crazy that he actually annexed Chernobyl of all places
Meat shields aren’t free.
This is truly the greatest orphan grinding machine of All Time.
he really needs to skip a step and go full Krieg and just grow his cannon fodder in tubes
edit: the difference is that Krieg is competant
Even Putler wants to flirt with the idea of turning his empire into fucking Gilead.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
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.
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.
In October, the UK's Ministry of Defence reported that Russia has likely amassed up to 290,000 killed or wounded soldiers in the war against Ukraine.
Since coming into power 24 years ago, Putin has tried to boost Russia's birthrate by introducing a range of government incentives for those who have children, including payouts for families who have more than one child.
But the measures have had little to no impact, with figures from Rosstat, Russia's federal-statistics service, putting the Russian population at 146,447,424 as of January 1, lower than it was in 1999 when Putin first became president, Le Monde reported.
"Russia lacks workers," Alexei Raksha, a demographer who previously worked at Rosstat, told AFP in February.

Bear children for the meat grinder.
If that's the reason, then the Ze must be urging the women in UA to have as little as 162 children
My Russian brothers and sisters, hold fast. As an American, there will soon be a change in American political power that will align with sanity and not disinformation like this evil and corrupt incompetent American president. Soon you will be free from antagonizing drug addicted neighbors that intentionally create false nuclear attacks upon your unsuspecting and peaceful people putting fear in you and your children. We support you brothers and sisters of Russia!
Ordinary Western and US propaganda - no matter what Putin may do, it's a sign of his weakness. Whether he eats ice cream, smiles, fucks women, sleeps, urges the women to give birth to more children, washes his teeth or itches his left shoulder -- it's a proof that he's weak.
In reality, he's ever stronger and supported by the russians -- thanks to none other than the West and US.
