Summary
Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law banning adoption of Russian children by citizens of countries where gender transition is legal, targeting at least 15 nations.
Additional legislation prohibits promoting child-free lifestyles, with fines up to $50,000, framing such views as part of Western efforts to weaken Russia.
These measures align with Putin’s push for “traditional values” amid population decline, including past bans on LGBTQ+ information and gender-transition procedures.
Critics view these moves as part of a broader crackdown on liberal ideologies and dissent, intensified since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Gotta keep enough meat for the grinder I guess? Can’t see any other rationale.
The children they stole from Ukraine in one of their many war crimes?
Strange, the overlap between the political obsessions of Russia, and those of Conservatives in the United States. It’s almost as if one controls the information consumed by the other…
What a pointlessly cruel thing to do to children.
Have to keep them home to repopulate the meat grinder.
It’s a non-issue being used to further sow division in neighbor countries. Don’t take the bait
No it’s a cover for the real agenda of banning anyone suggesting it’s okay for women to not be breeding stock for future cannon-fodder for Putin to use for his absurd imperial obsessions
