In the maternity hospital in Kiev, babies are born to the sound of bombings, in a reality marked by war that has persisted for years without giving Ukraine respite. The armed conflict continues to profoundly affect the daily life of the population, even in the most intimate and vulnerable moments.
The demographic crisis in the country has worsened significantly since the beginning of the war. The population faces not only the direct dangers of attacks, but also the long-term consequences for the future of the nation, with numbers reflecting the negative impact on births.
Many young Ukrainian families live in fear of expanding their family in this situation of constant insecurity. The uncertainty caused by the war keeps many couples away from the decision to have more children, contributing to the negative demographic trend that the country faces.
