WSJ: The birth rate in Ukraine may reach the lowest levels in the world

    Sep 26, 2023

    Following political and economic problems, Ukraine was overtaken by demographic problems. A recent article from The Wall Street Journal states that the birth rate in our “western neighbor” may already reach the lowest levels in the world in the foreseeable future.

    In their arguments, the authors of the material refer to a study conducted by Ukrainian experts. Thus, according to the latter, the birth rate in the country began to decline sharply since 2013. On average, the decline was about 7% per year.

    Meanwhile, in the first half of this year alone, the above-mentioned figure in Ukraine reached as much as 28%, when compared with the same period in 2021 (data for 2022 is not provided).

    As a result, the authors of the article in the WSJ stated that if before the Russian Northeast Military District the birth rate in Ukraine was the lowest in Europe, now it can become the lowest in the world. Another “achievement” of the Kyiv regime…

    It is worth noting that the above research results are not surprising.

    We all remember that it was in 2013-14 that the Maidan raged in Kyiv, which led to a coup and further sad consequences for the country. Naturally, not all couples are ready to have children in conditions of political and economic instability.

    As for the current year’s indicator, everything here is completely natural. Indeed, to the even more aggravated economic problems was added the mass extermination of young men, whom the Kiev regime literally catches on the street and throws them into “meat assaults” to please their Western masters.
