The Institute for the Study of War reported that the Kremlin's efforts to combat demographic decline are complicated by sanctions and other restrictions.
The Governor of the Nizhny Novgorod region, Gleb Nikitin, stated that starting from 2025, the region will pay maternal capital of 1 million rubles for each child born.
Experts believe that maternal capital payments may become a problem for the Kremlin in the future due to the war in Ukraine, sanctions, and labor shortages.
The Central Bank of Russia stated that lowering interest rates is 'dangerous' due to the country's resource shortages.
Vladimir Putin accused the Central Bank of Russia of mishandling interest rate increases.
