Bad news! Putin the Terrible is a baby killer!

"Childbirth in Ukraine has grown increasingly perilous, as relentless bombardments and displacement fuel a maternal mortality crisis and contribute to plunging birth rates that threaten the country’s future.
Dangerous delivery:
Maternal deaths in Ukraine spiked 37% between 2023 and 2024, reaching 25.9 deaths per 100,000 live births, reports France24.
Doctors report a sharp increase in complications, including more premature births, a 44% rise in uterine ruptures, and dangerous spikes in C-section rates—up to 46% in frontline regions like Kherson.
Compromised care: 80+ maternity centers across Ukraine have been damaged or destroyed since Russia’s 2022 invasion, putting pregnant women and newborns at severe risk and forcing hundreds of births to occur in underground shelters, warns the UN Population Fund.
Last week, a maternity hospital in Kherson was attacked, further compromising severely strained medical services, per the WHO.
Power outages and supply shortages further contribute to rising risks.
Demographic disaster: Ukraine now has the highest death rates and lowest birth rates in the world, measuring three deaths for every birth, reports Reuters.
That has led to fears of population collapse, with the country’s population plummeting from 42 million in 2022 to a projected 25 million by 2051."
