Ukraine is short of soldiers. It is the main weakness of its army, Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov acknowledged in January, and its commanders have been lamenting since 2024. The shortage of troops forces thousands of men in the Armed Forces of Ukraine to spend months in combat positions without relief, without rest. Could recruiting women be a solution?
Two debates resurface intermittently in wartime Ukraine: should the age of men subject to compulsory conscription be lowered? The current minimum age is 25. Should mandatory enlistment for women begin? Both options provoke a strong backlash and broad social rejection. On the question of female recruitment, the issue touches on something more sensitive, says Roman Kovalov, an army colonel: tradition.
“The problem is not whether it is necessary or useful, the problem is tradition, culture,” says this battalion commander. “For our traditional society, a woman is the guardian of the home and the children’s educator. A man is the warrior and defender. The idea of mobilizing women would be perceived negatively by society.”
The debate resurfaced this April when about a dozen women in Ukraine received military summonses to join the ranks. Only career female service members and healthcare professionals are required to be registered in the military census. Even so, a doctor or a nurse can refuse mobilization for many reasons. The women summoned in April did not have the profile to join the military and the Ministry of Defense said the cases were computer errors.

I am willing to fight Russia to the last Ukrainian life!
Plenty of fighting age Ukrainian males in Poland.
Meanwhile, he plans on replacing them with Africans.
Ukrainian men would have been better off joining the Russians. Ukrainian women have the option to flee, breed with the replacement Africans, or now get drafted and die like Ukrainian men.

Trump tried to get Zelensky to take the deal last year. He refused.
The Bolshevik plan to eliminate Whites at play. Zelensky is now importing ugly nons to replace White people. Now he wants to eliminate the White breeders.
Waiting for the Putinphobes to show up and say Russians are worse.
If it’s up for public debate, that means they are going to start doing it.
Recruit blow-up dolls?
And after the war, population shortages will be made up by refugees from Africa?

More plausible- China. That said, they are waking up to the fact there is simply not enough males to rebuild Ukraine, nor enough money.
The millions that fled are not going to return, either. Western MSM will never report the destruction that has been unleashed on their entire infrastructure….and should Vlad decide to destroy the dozen or so bridges across the Dneipner, they will become permanently a nation of beggars that they are.
Draft the hot ones, and send them to the USA.
Zelensky will do anything to keep the money coming in.
The Ukraine has no choice.
So sayeth the Z-bot.
China has a severe demographic problem, caused by their one child policy

China will expand their “ Silk Road” as we have been witnessing....if not Chinese, then Norkies, Africans, Phillipinos, maybe even Indians. St Z has not given any thought what so ever about rebuilding, he has been consumed by his war.
