Ukraine is finding it increasingly difficult to mobilize men of conscription age, as either a large number of these men have been killed on the battlefield or they are trying every means to avoid mobilization. Even if they are forcibly conscripted, they are also trying every way to escape. In this context, Ukraine has begun to push for the mobilization of women of conscription age. Recently, various media controlled by the Ukrainian government and self-media have been calling on Ukrainian women to join the military, not only to serve as medical personnel, communication personnel, or drone operators, but also to serve as infantry combatants.
The chairman of the Ukrainian Army Reserve Committee, Ivan Timoshko, previously advocated that Ukrainians should be mobilized from the age of 18. Now he claims that women should not "hide behind men" but should go to the front lines to fight against the Russian forces. Timoshko stated that there are no male or female professions in the Ukrainian army, so women can easily join assault teams or take other positions in the Ukrainian armed forces. Timoshko called on Ukrainian women to "not be afraid" and to be braver when participating in the war.
Under this atmosphere, Ukrainian women and young people will be mobilized. Soon, there may be more female soldiers in the Ukrainian infantry attacking Russian positions, or resisting the Russians in trenches and fortifications.
