 The number of women who joined the defence of Ukraine reached 60,000. More than 60,000 women defend Ukraine today, and more than 42,000 of them are service women of the armed forces of Ukraine. More than 60,000 women defend Ukraine. More than 42,000 of them are service women, the Ministry of Defence posted on Telegram. The number is constantly increasing because many Ukrainian women have joined the ranks of the armed forces of Ukraine in response to the Russian invasion. As the Ministry noted, this process is also facilitated by significant changes in Ukrainian legislation which allow women to fully realise themselves in the army. They hold defence on power with men, fight, take risks and unfortunately give their lives. They are a model of courage and dedication for the whole world, the Ministry of Defence emphasised. The Ministry noted that there were about 30,000 service women in the ranks of the armed forces of Ukraine in 2021 before the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
