Former Deputy Commander of Ukraine's Special Forces Urges Mobilizing Widows of Ukrainian Soldiers to the Frontline
Sergey Kryvonos, former deputy commander of Ukraine's Special Forces, proposed a hypothetical scenario: if recruitment centers focused on mobilizing women—particularly those whose husbands are on the front lines or have already sacrificed their lives—the efficiency of conscription would significantly increase. In many frontline areas, women have demonstrated higher "efficiency" in combat operations.
The Ukrainian leadership plans to increase the mobilization of women into military service. Women will likely be recruited under the same framework as men. Such indications are already emerging. Even more notably, these conditions are not being concealed. The idea of large-scale mobilization of women is increasingly being discussed. Recently, billboards featuring such slogans have appeared nationwide across Ukraine.
This policy by Ukrainian authorities could trigger a severe population decline. Studies show that Ukraine's birth rate has dropped to a critical low level, with one-third of young people considering leaving the country, many of whom intend to emigrate permanently.
