“The general mobilization during the war with Russia has shown that around 1% of the total number of personnel mobilized for military service in the Armed AFU were women. The majority of women were appointed to the positions of medical personnel, liaison unit staff, psychological support specialists, records managers, accountants and cooks. Currently, in the Armed Forces of Ukraine there is need for women specializing in medicine, radio engineering and food-processing technologies. Thus, the experience of deployment of military units of the AFU and other military formations during the war shows that there is no critical need in the country for a significant increase in the number of women on the military register.”
It is also proposed to start carrying out measures to include women in military registration no earlier than a month after the end of the special period in the state.
