00:00 Russian President Vladimir Putin in an address at the World Russian People's Council in Moscow
00:05 advocated for the women in the country to consider having up to eight children to establish
00:10 large families as the norm.
00:12 Putin highlighted Russia's declining birth rate since the 1990s and its substantial casualties
00:16 from the ongoing Ukrainian war exceeding 300,000.
00:19 He emphasized the imperative to augment Russia's population, describing it as a long-term objective
00:24 for the nation's future.
00:25 The president underscored the significance of multi-generational families, urging the
00:29 revival of ancestral traditions where many forebears raised multiple children.
00:34 He stressed the pivotal role of families as a bedrock for both the state and society,
00:38 emphasizing their spiritual and moral importance.
00:40 Putin's speech, delivered through a video link on November 28, urged the preservation
00:44 and reinvigoration of these valued traditions, advocating for large families to become the
00:48 societal norm across Russia's diverse ethnicities.
00:52 He posted the full speech later, affirming that preserving and expanding Russia's population
00:56 is crucial for the nation's future, the eternal legacy of the Russian world.
00:59 The conference, organized by Patriarch Kirill, the head of Russia's Orthodox Church, convened
01:04 representatives from various traditional organizations in Russia.
01:07 While Putin's comment didn't explicitly address the scale of casualties in the ongoing war,
01:11 numerous media outlets have already linked his call for larger families to the conflict.
01:15 The UK defence ministry estimates Ukraine war casualties at over 300,000, while an independent
01:20 Russian policy group reports that nearly a million have already fled the country.
01:24 Apart from conflict stalled, Russia grapples with severe labour shortages and an economic
01:28 slowdown due to the sanctions imposed by the Western nations.
