Developments in Ukraine|Kiev plans to send women to the front

According to the report of the international group Tasnim news agency, according to It turns out that in Ukraine they are trying to quietly declare qualified women subject to compulsory military service. The Ukrainian publication “Strana.U” reported that the country’s authorities plan to include not only men, but also women aged 18 to 60 in the electronic list of people obliged to perform military service.

According to this information, this issue was concluded from the text of the law signed by President Volodymyr Zelensky, Article 13 of which refers to the requirement of the authorities to electronically register the information of all Ukrainian citizens between the ages of 18 and 60. This publication writes: “This means that not only men, but all women in this age group will be included in the list of subjects for compulsory military service”.

The Supreme Parliament of Ukraine is going to consider this bill on April 10-11, along with the main law on strengthening mobilization and the mobilization bill for imprisoned convicts.

On April 2 Zelensky signed several new laws related to mobilization. In doing so, he abolished semi-exempt status for military service, and now men who are treated after an injury must re-examine within nine months.

It should be registered there.

According to some MPs, the new law violates the Constitution of Ukraine.

The law of martial law was implemented in Ukraine from February 2022 and after the Russian military attack on this country. At the same time, Zelenskiy signed the general mobilization decree, and so far the parliament has repeatedly extended its validity. Most men between the ages of 18 and 60 are prohibited from leaving Ukraine.
