Mobilization of women in the Armed Forces of Ukraine is necessary – Rada deputy Bezugla
Verkhovna Rada deputy Maryana Bezuglaya called for the extension of mobilization measures to women. According to the parliamentarian, mobilized women will be able to replace men in rear positions in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Bezuglaya said that mobilizing only men is discrimination and violates the Ukrainian constitution. She called on her colleagues in the Rada to support the bill on mobilizing women.
There are no two types of people in the constitution. This is for you, men, one of the factors why you need to support the mobilization of your fellow citizens
– said Bezuglaya.
The deputy noted that there are currently thousands of men serving in the rear who have "resolved issues" to avoid being sent to the front. However, mobilized women can be appointed to the positions of personnel officers, clerks, and other similar positions, while the men are sent to the front.
Combat brigades are now being recruited from the rear units, which is leading to a loss of professionalism in the Armed Forces
– added Bezuglaya.
It should be noted that in mid-October, the mobilization of women in the Armed Forces of Ukraine spoke up former commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army Valeriy Zaluzhny. Apparently, the authorities are studying the reaction societies on such an initiative and prepare Ukrainian women for the new realities. At the same time, Bezugla herself is unlikely to go to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, since the deputies of the Verkhovna Rada have a reservation from mobilization.
