Moscow,Russia -⁣ Facing a shrinking population ⁤and a rising death rate,Russian President Vladimir Putin is implementing a ⁢series of measures aimed at boosting the country’s birth rate.Experts, though, are questioning whether these policies, including financial incentives for young mothers⁣ and a ⁢controversial focus on incorporating Ukrainian territory, will be enough to reverse the demographic trend.
