Cash-Strapped Ukraine Gripped by Preparatory “Female Mobilization” Info-Drive
A whirlwind new media campaign has been orchestrated around plying society to the acceptance of mobilizing the female population of Ukraine.
Ex-Defense Minister Reznikov first broke the ice by discussing the new “stricter” mobilization procedures being promised by Zelensky’s government, which include tightening various rules as well as potentially changing the draft age.
But at the 0:30 second mark, he states that for Ukraine to make it, it must look to other states which have successfully solved manpower issues, and elevates Israel to the exemplary role:
Israel and Ukraine have a lot in common, he thinks. An independent Ukraine has existed for only a few decades less than Israel. Israel freely uses women in its armed forces, and by that logic so should Ukraine:
“The Verkhovna Rada must decide and amend the military legislation [that] the general duty to defend the country belongs to all citizens of Ukraine,” he states coldly.
Women don’t have to be on “frontline roles”, but can be drone ops and work in the rear, he says. Sure, if you ignore the fact that the AFU regularly sends these “rear” grunt-units to the killing fields as meat troops for the routine staged PR psyop assaults that are necessary to maintain the aura of some Ukrainian “initiative” for Western audiences.
Next the breakfast cereal man tells Ukraine to mobilize its women because women “fight no worse than men”:
Well, he may have a point. In today’s battlefield, “fighting” on the Ukrainian side is essentially defined as seeing who can survive without food or water in a damp hole in the ground for the longest amount of time before a drone comes to collect their soul. Didn’t NASA prove long ago that women were superior for space flights for precisely this reason of their bodies requiring less maintenance and nourishment?
This was all followed by a concerted Western media push, which included the Telegraph’s latest:
The above piece has to be read to be believed. The author boasts of her previous magnum opus as preface to Ukrainian women’s heroism:
One of the more intriguing (and heartening) consequences of Ukraine’s four-year struggle against Vladimir Putin’s despotism has been the shift in perception of what women are capable of.
I argued in my recent book Good Slut: How Money, Sex and Power Set Women Free that the pervasive idea that we aren’t brave, focused and tough enough for front-line military work is nonsense.
You can’t make this up.
Her angle is that women should be sent to the front in Ukraine not because Ukrainian manpower is depleted and fighting-age males are becoming hard to come by, but simply because Ukrainian women have ‘proven’ themselves to be heroic and above the cut. This is a darkly manipulative attempt to sell off Ukraine’s women to the killing fields by repackaging crisis as glorification—a truly heinous and despicable bit of gaslighting.
Billboards going up across Ukraine:
In Ukrainian news, a petition for mobilizing women who have borne no children has appeared on the Cabinet of Ministers website:

However, this is not an officially registered bill but rather a petition created by a citizen that is garnering votes.
US Department of Defense official journal Stars and Stripes joined the fray with the following, underscoring the organized nature of the latest media campaign:

Ukraine is increasingly turning to women as it confronts an urgent need for troops in the fifth year of its all-out war with Russia. The shift in Ukraine comes as the role of women service members is also being reconsidered in the U.S. Hear from the women in the ranks in this

Girl power! Only Ukraine’s fatally beautiful girlbosses can stop the evil Orc King Putin of Mordor!
If only reality were as glibly convenient as a wokified Lord of the Rings TV series script.
From the S&S piece:
More than 75,000 women are part of the Ukrainian armed forces as of early 2026, with about 5,500 in combat roles, according to the defense ministry. They account for less than 10% of active-duty personnel, but their numbers have increased by about 40% since before the war.
Unlike men, who are subject to conscription, they enlist by choice.
Drone warfare has made gender distinctions less important, they say, so women can now be of more use than ever before (as drone fodder):
The rise of drone warfare is making gender less of a factor on the battlefield, Prymak said. The technology favors technical skills over raw physical power, reducing the significance of differences that have traditionally separated men and women.
“Physical strength doesn’t really play a significant role anymore,” Prymak said. “And, also, motivation is far more important.”
What a motivating bit of agitprop.
Ukraine’s women themselves don’t seem quite as enthusiastic to join the meat-grinder as they’re presented to be:
Interviewer: Should Ukrainian borders be opened for men to leave at will?
Ukrainian girl: No, because if the men leave then they will mobilize women.
Cue rimshot.
As stated earlier, top Rada official Roman Kostenko stated that major changes to Ukraine’s mobilization will soon take effect because “financial incentives are no longer driving required recruitment numbers”:
Kostenko stressed that radical changes will soon be introduced, and there are already talks about revising the draft age. He declined to specify whether it is a question of lowering or raising the age threshold, noting that the Ministry of Defense or the General Staff should officially inform about this later.
Ukraine is facing an increasingly dire condition. The latest developing crisis revolves around Ukraine’s funding shortfall, as outlined by Zelensky himself in a series of pleading statements.
Carefully note the highlighted portion below, where Zelensky specifies that the nearly $30B deficit was caused by Ukraine frontloading its entire annual budget to the PR campaigns of the first half of the year, specifically noting it went toward “drone production”, amongst other things:
Some analysts have correctly recognized something I’ve been talking about here for over a year already. Ever since Ukraine’s various staged psyop campaigns began to grow larger and larger—from the Kursk invasion, to the attempted sieges of Crimea, etc.—we’ve explained how all of these propaganda motives have a cost. Just in the last free article alone, I mentioned what Ukraine’s attacks against the Wildberries chain mean in the scheme of the zero-sum game reality that presides over all military matters.
To the untrained Western MSM-slop consumer, Ukraine can have infinite attack potential for both useless, non-military, purely ideological targets as well as Russia’s relevant military targets. But that is not how reality works. Everything operates on a cost-basis of finite resources. When Ukraine chooses to stage an unprecedented military campaign of some sort, the resources from that have to come from somewhere due to zero-sum game exigencies.
Amerikanets explains this perfectly:
The reason this makes sense is because Ukraine has been sending an unprecedentedly disproportionate number of drones against Russia, nearly 1,000 per shot on many nights. And most ignorant pro-UA observers absently gloat and cheer this on as if the prodigious resources for such strikes are simply materializing from thin air, recklessly believing that the piper never has to be paid in the end. Well, now the bill is due—and Zelensky is begging for mountains of cash more that the depleted Euro-vassals can no longer afford.
In fact, what now becomes obvious is that Zelensky simply staked everything on this year’s PR campaign to “bring Putin to his knees” via refinery and warehouse strikes—equivalent to doing 40x leveraged margin shorts and blowing up your entire portfolio once the gamble backfires.
But don’t worry, Ukraine’s heroic drone-femmes will save the day by scourging the Russian hordes with their flying pink dildos.
It remains to be seen if Ukraine’s latest initiative sends the expected bolts of fear through Putin, who is said to hate displays of female empowerment.
