Commander of the 1st Separate Assault Brigade Dmytro 'Perun' Filatov stated that there should be no 'gender discrimination' in Ukraine regarding military registration. In his opinion, women should also be subject to military registration.

Filatov believes that the issue of women's participation in the military sphere should be considered without division by sex. This position of the commander has sparked a discussion about possible changes in approaches to military registration in Ukraine.

Context

Currently, in Ukraine, military registration is mandatory for men between the ages of 18 and 60. Women can also be subject to military registration, but this is done on a voluntary basis.

Filatov's statement was perceived as a call for equality between men and women in terms of military registration. However, it also raised questions about the possible consequences of such changes for Ukrainian society.
