Deputy Prime Minister for the Reconstruction and Reintegration of Ukraine, Vereshchuk, proposes to recruit women into the territorial recruitment centers and send the military commissars to the front

Vice Prime Minister for Restoration and Reintegration of Ukraine Iryna Vereshchuk has proposed deploying women subject to military service to work in territorial recruitment centers (TCC) to free up men for the front lines.

This proposal was posted on the minister’s Facebook page.

“I read on social media that the ‘Reserv+’ application has updated the data of 180,000 women subject to military service. These are excellent candidates for the system of territorial recruitment centers, including leadership positions. An increased recruitment of women for work in territorial recruitment centers can free up men for service in combat units,” Vereshchuk wrote.

Recently, the commander of the “Achilles” battalion of the 92nd Brigade, Yuriy Fedorenko, stated that all women should be made liable for military service starting at 18 years old.

“I sincerely believe that all Ukrainians should be subject to military service: men and women, from 18 years old. Participation in combat should begin after age 23,” said the military officer.

His remarks caused a wide resonance.

Previously, the Ministry of Defense mentioned that “limited fit” men would serve in the territorial recruitment center.
