"Significant potential": many women applying to recruitment centers, says Ukraine Defense Ministry

He said this during the national United News telethon.

According to Bezhevets, the share of women among people who apply to recruiting centers and are generally interested in positions in the Ukrainian Defense Forces sometimes reaches 20%.

“This means that the potential is significant. Today, women have the opportunity to find themselves in military service and realize their potential as specialists. There are no regulatory restrictions on this,” the Defense Ministry official said.

He added that in terms of demand for professions, vacancies in units related to unmanned aerial vehicles, ground drones, and intelligence are popular among all recruits.

In addition, according to the authorized representative of the Defense Ministry, there is a demand for vacancies related to service in the headquarters.

• In June, it was reported that more than 67,000 women serve in the Ukrainian Armed Forces, 19,000 of whom are civilian employees, while the rest are military personnel.
