Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov on Monday called on Russians to have more children and boost the country's birth rate, arguing that the "promotion of traditional values is extremely important" for Russia, taking a swipe at European countries. 

"In this context (the need to boost the birth rate - TASS), the promotion of traditional values is extremely important for us, and in this context, we have nothing in common with this extreme liberalism in terms of the rejection of traditional human and religious values that we are currently observing in European countries. This does not correspond to our understanding of what is right," Peskov said, as quoted by Russian state news agency TASS, in comments to The Washington Post. 

He argued that Russia will therefore "continue to promote this, in the good sense of the word," as the goal is to "encourage our people to have as many children as possible."

The Russian news agency notes that Putin recently argued in a speech that supporting families with many children was essential, and that having a large family should become part of the basic philosophy of Russian society.
