President Volodymyr Zelensky believes that after the end of the war, there will be a demographic "boom" in Ukraine. He said this during a meeting with students of Sumy State University.

When asked by a student about government programs aimed at stimulating the birth rate, the Ukrainian leader replied that the number one issue is safety.

"I think that the biggest incentive is safety, and what's next with the child, and what to do. And we need not only financial incentives, because finances, in my opinion, help, but they do not stimulate giving birth during the war," Zelensky said.

The President emphasized the need for shelters in schools and kindergartens, as well as air defense systems.

"There is something that the state should do with partners - the latest air defense technologies and its domestic systems. And inform the society about it. But you are smart, you can see for yourself: if they shoot, if it doesn't fall and it is shot down, it means that we have a sufficient number of mobile fire groups and air defense systems. If it arrives, it means that there is no security from the sky yet," the President noted.

According to him, it also affects the birth rate.

"I understand that when the war ends, there will be a boom. I am confident in this, people will return, they will be confident in the future, confident in the future of Ukraine," Zelensky emphasized.
