During the war with the Russian Federation, 7733 children were born in Kharkiv. This was stated by the city's mayor Igor Terekhov in an interview with 'Glavkom'.

'In Kharkiv, 7733 children were born in 1000 days of war. Year by year, it looks as follows: in 2022 - 2492 children, in 2023 - 2814 children, in the first 10 months of 2024 - 2663 children. On average, 50-60 children are born every week,' Terekhov reported.

The mayor added that one underground school is already functioning in Kharkiv, and six more are being built.

'Currently, we have one underground school in the Industrial District and are building six more. In addition, children are taught in classrooms at six metro stations,' noted Igor Terekhov.

It is worth mentioning that in 2024, 161.9 thousand children were born in Ukraine. This data is based on the number of baby boxes and family support through the 'baby bundle'.

According to the Ministry of Justice, as of July 1, 2024, the number of born children compared to the same period before the Russian invasion decreased by one and a half times: 87,655 children against 132,595 in 2021. To improve the situation, deputies are proposing to revise childbirth benefits.
