The advisor on gender issues for the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) has confirmed disturbing reports that female volunteers on the frontline are regularly subjected to harassment and violence.

According to the advisor, commanders and their deputies often use their positions to commit such acts, which raises serious concerns and requires immediate action to prevent such incidents.

Experts emphasize that such behavior not only causes moral harm to female volunteers but also undermines the credibility of the armed forces and hinders the effective execution of military tasks.
