57.000 de femei luptă în armata Ucrainei, în războiul declanșat de Rusia. Numărul lor s-a dublat de la începutul invaziei

Over 76,000 women serve in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, with 57,000 in military positions. Military service for women is voluntary, but those aged 18 to 60 with medical or pharmaceutical education must register. By September 2026, over 20,000 women held combat roles. The modern military includes various professions beyond combat, such as drone pilots and medical specialists. Ukraine has four female generals, including Tetiana Ostașcenko, the first woman to lead military medical services. The number of women in the military has nearly doubled since the start of the war, reflecting changes in military culture and the importance of gender equality in opportunities and professional development.
