Sprodes wrote in X: In line with comprehensive national defense, I support the plan of compulsory service of women in the defense forces. 2028 can be a good year to start work.
After the Russian attack on Ukraine in February 2022, European countries have strengthened their armies both in terms of the number of personnel and weapons.
Latvia, which shares a border with Russia, after abolishing conscription in 2006, resumed it last year. This country, which has a population of less than 2 million, randomly selects its subjects and plans to have about 4,000 soldiers by 2028.
Sweden and Lithuania, as two other countries close to Russia, resumed compulsory service for their subjects after the annexation of the Crimean Peninsula to Moscow in 2014.
Sprodes had previously said in a TV program that recruitment of women will not happen today and tomorrow, and the reason is political and technical obstacles regarding this issue.
He explained in X: We have a task that we have to do until 2028, and that is: public debate and discussion, strengthening and improving infrastructure and equipment allocation. And only for women.
