As of October 2024, only specific categories of women are registered for military service in Ukraine. However, in the event of an escalation in hostilities, there may be a need for general mobilization of both men and women.
In an interview with 24 Channel on October 17, stated military-political expert Alexander Kovalenko from the "Information Resistance" group.
Kovalenko explained the roles women could fulfill if they are drafted into the army.
The expert clarified that in 2025, Ukraine's primary challenge will be the large number of Russian soldiers. According to him, Russia will primarily wage war through human resources rather than equipment. To achieve victory, Ukraine must enhance its effectiveness in eliminating enemy forces. He noted that if currently 30-35 thousand Russians are eliminated monthly, that number should increase to 45-50 thousand next year.
In the event of women's mobilization, they will primarily handle tasks in the rear. "Women will not be involved in assault operations, but their mobilization will be essential for performing important tasks in the rear," Kovalenko emphasized.
