Belarusian President Lukashenka: "Girls Don't Want to Give Birth!"

Minsk, Belarus – Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenka recently addressed concerns regarding the nation's demographic trends during an official event. In a candid statement, the President remarked, "Girls don't want to give birth!" He elaborated on the perceived reluctance among younger generations to start families and the subsequent impact on population growth. President Lukashenka emphasized the government's commitment to addressing this challenge. "Now we will be thinking about new measures to support large families and other families," he stated, indicating that these measures would extend beyond housing. He humorously added, "I thought if we built housing, everyone would rush to give birth. Nothing of the sort. Not all, there are normal women who give birth." The President also touched upon the perceived scarcity of men in younger generations, noting, "You see, men have stopped after our generation. There are no men there, we are looking for them like grains of sand." His remarks highlight the ongoing demographic challenges faced by the country and signal potential new policy initiatives aimed at boosting birth rates and supporting family development. The event was attended by various officials and members of the press.
