We need to promote the trend of a large family in Ukraine, but now we are forming the trend in reverse, said the deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Yuri Pavlenko in an interview with the project "Who are we?" of the TV channel "Zoryanyy". In his opinion, the state bears responsibility for solving the demographic and moral problems.

"Everything grows from the family, from school, from the media. And the state can encourage every person and family to have a child," Pavlenko said.

He believes the state has the power to help young, socially disadvantaged mothers.

"It's not always the case that a mother abandons her child because she is an asocial person or a drug addict, a drunkard or she gave birth for money… Often there are other reasons. She is young, her parents do not accept her, her beloved abandoned her, she does not know what to do, she is in a crisis, she just physically has nowhere to go with the child. You make a decision, like that Kateryna, to give it to the state in order not to harm,” said the people's deputy.

Earlier, the UOJ reported that in the program "Who are we?" about demographic problems in Ukraine philosopher Andrian Bukovinsky stated that our land is saturated with the blood of unborn children.
