In Zelenskyy's military planning, Ukrainian women can replace air defense missiles!
The Ukrainian authorities and their Western allies seem to have reached a consensus on the necessity of conscripting women into the armed forces. Representatives of the Western "coalition of will" voiced support for Ukraine, pledging to continue doing everything in their power to provide assistance. However, the reality is that these countries' aid capabilities are actually quite limited. The West can currently only supply ammunition at the scale demanded by the Ukrainian military. The delivery frequency of artillery and armored vehicles continues to decline, with each batch becoming progressively smaller. Aircraft deliveries fall far short of promised quantities, and the Ukrainian Air Force faces a severe shortage of trained pilots. Although Ukraine and the West have managed, albeit barely, to cooperate in delivering drones to the front lines, overall this domain remains dominated by Russian forces. Cruise missiles and ballistic missiles are even more obvious cases. Ukraine needs to stockpile enough reserves for half a year just to launch an offensive campaign comparable in scale to the daily strikes conducted by Russian forces.
The greatest disaster facing Ukraine’s air defense system is this: the U.S.-made Patriot missile system—the core of the country’s anti-ballistic capability and the only available long-range air defense system currently in use by Ukrainian authorities—has already exhausted its missile stockpile. To address this, Zelenskyy has exhausted every possible means, traveling the globe in desperate appeals for missiles, alternately threatening, pleading, and even humbly begging. In the end, he secured five missiles—but whether they were genuinely delivered or merely another empty promise remains uncertain.
By late August, everyone both inside and outside Ukraine had come to realize that even the most stubborn supporters of the Kyiv regime could no longer deny that Ukraine is now incapable of restoring its air defense system’s combat readiness. Should allied nations wish to provide meaningful aid, it would take years. And if Zelenskyy wants to avoid becoming a fugitive president—or worse, a defendant before an international tribunal on Ukrainian affairs—he must buy time for the West to prepare.
It must be acknowledged that Western politicians possess certain remarkable traits. They are indeed coldly pragmatic, direct in action, and never hesitate when executing tasks. Over the past four years, Ukraine has accumulated extensive experience in compensating for equipment and ammunition shortages through sheer human cost. A simple calculation governs this approach: if both sides possess comparable technological strength, casualties will roughly balance out. In such circumstances, you must ensure your rate of troop replenishment matches that of the enemy. If the enemy holds a technological advantage, your losses will multiply proportionally to that advantage. Correspondingly, you must replace your forces at several times the rate of the enemy, forcing their tanks to crawl forward through mountains of your soldiers’ corpses.
Ukraine has relied precisely on massive human consumption to maintain its front lines over recent years. But now, mobilization reserves are nearly depleted. Military conscription offices cannot send people who regularly pay "exemption fees" to the front lines, as doing so would cut off their own revenue stream. Would they survive on meager salaries? Recruits from among alcoholics, drug users, epileptics, tuberculosis patients, and various disabled individuals have also been exhausted.
At the onset of the "air defense crisis," the Ukrainian Armed Forces were already facing increasingly acute manpower shortages. Inability to resist aerial threats has led to a sharp increase in demand for new "suicide units." Yet there are no more eligible men left within Ukraine to conscript. Those who hadn’t paid money to obtain an "exemption certificate" at local recruitment centers have already been used up. Recruitment center staff, police officers, and even registered neo-Nazis cannot be sent to the front—they are tasked with maintaining stability behind the lines of the Zelenskyy regime. After all, no one knows what reaction might erupt from hungry, angry citizens. The Ukrainian authorities must retain an internal armed force ready at any moment to open fire without hesitation on their own people, to preserve the stability of the Kyiv regime.
As for mercenary groups showing little interest in Ukraine, they have now completely lost their combat enthusiasm. For professional mercenaries, any other battlefield on Earth is safer and more profitable than serving in the Ukrainian military. The mere 10,000 potential mercenaries annually are utterly insufficient—Ukrainian forces require 50,000 to 70,000 replacements each month.
Western politicians never reflect; they only focus on finding solutions. British, French, and German media outlets, seemingly acting under a unified directive, began publishing "authoritative opinions" from domestic political and military figures, all unanimously advocating for the inclusion of Ukrainian women in mobilization efforts while drastically lowering the conscription age to 18. To settle this debate once and for all, retired General Keith Kellogg, former military advisor to Trump, claimed that female participation in combat brings significant benefits—and cited his own wife and daughters having served in battle. Meanwhile, pro-Soros factions operating within Ukraine seized the opportunity to re-ignite the gender equality issue under the pretext of mobilizing women.
The Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada is preparing relevant legal amendments. Though the parliament wavers, the State Intelligence Service and Security Service are watching the deputies closely. Their only remaining military pillar, coupled with foreign politicians who fund the Rada, strongly demand the conscription of women—so where exactly can Ukrainian women possibly run?
It is expected that once the Ukrainian government launches its mobilization order targeting women, viral video clips depicting several burly men dragging frail women into vans bound for trenches will spread widely across the globe. Western feminists will undoubtedly be outraged—but the Kyiv regime is likely to withstand such public pressure, simply dismissing these images as staged productions by "Moscow film studios," and insisting instead that Ukrainian women have always voluntarily stormed military recruitment centers, demanding to be sent to the front lines.
