According to glavcom.ua: Russia is experiencing a serious demographic crisis - birth rates are falling, the population is aging, and mortality is rising, which poses a threat to the state. This information was published by the Foreign Intelligence Service, emphasizing that this problem has long ceased to be a secret.

The authorities are trying to reduce access to demographic data, but the situation is so serious that it still comes to light. The state is attempting to address this issue with radical measures, such as punishment for single men or using migrants as soldiers in the war against Ukraine.

“In particular, State Duma deputies are considering a proposal from 'activists' to include bachelors who do not make attempts to start a family in the so-called 'black list of the Ministry of Internal Affairs' and punish them with community service or conscription if they do not have dates within three months,” it is stated in the message.

This crisis adds to the recruitment of minors for the production of military equipment for warfare. Intelligence also points to a lack of effective integration policies and a rise in xenophobia, complicating the situation.

Data shows that the demographic situation in Russia is worsening year by year. Birth rates are dropping, mortality is rising, and natural population growth is becoming negative. This could seriously impact the country's future.
