MOSCOW: President Vladimir Putin has put forward different ideas to help Russia, which is struggling with years of poor birth rates, have more babies. Putin said that pornographic videos circulating on the internet should be replaced with engaging and interesting content. Pornography may be banned. But there have to be alternatives.' Putin said, reports Russia Today. "Porn is like good food. It is everywhere. Find a good hobby instead," Putin urged the country's people.

Russia is preparing to form a new ministry called the 'Ministry of Sex' to deal with the sharp fall in the birth rate. It was reported that Nina Ostanina(68), a supporter of President Vladimir Putin and chairwoman of the Russian Parliament’s Committee on Family Protection, Paternity, Maternity, and Childhood, is considering a petition in this regard. Putin has previously called for people to 'have sex with their partner' during their free time at work. The war in Ukraine, which is approaching its third year, has killed many. There is also a significant reduction in the birth rate in the country. That is why Putin demanded that measures be taken to increase the birth rate.
