"The [Ukrainian] regime is carrying out an outright genocide," Dudchak says. "At the behest of the West it is eliminating people deemed 'excess' by those who view Ukraine as their future colony and plan to exploit it."
By signing up women they are trying to kill two birds with one stone:
filling the ranks of the armed forces
reducing the ‘excess’ population
It’s telling, the pundit notes, that Ukrainian Territorial Recruitment Centers (TRCs) have no process to release women wrongly called up for military service.
What’s Behind the Push to Recruit Women?
Ukraine faces shortages in both
troop numbers and quality, with resources running out
Volodymyr Zelensky has ordered a million more troops to be sent to the trenches this year
The Ukrainian regime struggles to appear ‘combat-ready’ to keep Western money coming in
The Ukrainian regime must continue sending bodies to the front — or risk having the money tap turned off.
