Evgenia Zakrevskaya: The universal mobilization of women has long been overdue.

She stated this in an interview with hromadske.

Zakrevskaya explains that there is currently a shortage of recruits even to replenish losses. Therefore, she does not believe in the possibility of establishing clear service terms. The military suggests organizing rotations and intensifying mobilization efforts.

“It is obvious that mandatory mobilization for women should have been announced a long time ago. (…) Of course, this won’t completely solve the issue of replenishment, but it is absolutely necessary now,” she believes.

The same soldiers who are on rotation should be at home, rather than “staying” at their permanent deployment point, says the aerial reconnaissance officer. In her view, this would allow them to “truly rest, recover, connect with loved ones, and live their lives.”

“Whether we want it or not — we are born for war. And it depends on us whether our children are also born for war. This choice is very simple: occupation, emigration, or resistance. I choose resistance. And in fact, the only honest choice for a citizen of the state is resistance,” Zakrevskaya added.
