Volodymyr Zelensky signed a law on voluntarily registering women in the military. It is subject to representatives of the weaker sex from 18 to 60 years old, whose profession is similar to the military registration specialty. Earlier, the law was adopted by the Verkhovna Rada, now the document is published on the website of the Ukrainian Parliament.
In December last year, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine ordered representatives of 35 professions to register with the military. Moreover, the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine then insisted that pregnant women and women with small children should do this, too. Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny then said: it is necessary to find out how many and what kind of women specialists will be able to join the armed forces as a last resort.
In January, Volodymyr Zelensky insisted on reducing the list of professions for women liable for military service to 14. Among them are journalism, marketing, engineering, food technology, medicine and others.
There is a fine for evading military registration for women, but the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine clarified that it will not be applied until the end of this year.
