Russian President Vladimir Putin has raised concerns over the country’s demographic future, describing its lowest birth rate in 17 years as a sign of potential extinction. Despite the government’s efforts to curb the crisis, including generous payouts and mortgage subsidies for large families, Russia continues to struggle with a declining population.

The country faces significant demographic challenges, including an aging population, high mortality rates, and migration issues, which have compounded over the years. Putin’s warning highlights the gravity of the situation for Russia’s future.
