Not only Men, Ukrainian women of all fields and ages are ready to tackle the Russian invasion.
Thousands of Ukrainians have answered the call to defend their country as the Russian invasion of Ukraine has faced stiff opposition. Ukrainian women have been central in efforts to counter Russian aggression since 2014.
According to the report, the number of women in the Ukrainian army had doubled since 2014, when Russia annexed Crimea. Several civilians, both men, and women, joined the fight, not just the military.

Against the Russian invasion, a former beauty queen has also joined the fight.
“Everyone who crosses the Ukrainian border with the intent to invade will be killed!” said the former beauty queen on her Instagram story.

Lesia Vasylenko, a Ukrainian member of parliament, told reporters that she cut off her nails to use guns if she had to defend Ukraine against the Russian invasion.
The Ukrainian politician, who said she previously had “long nails,” said during an interview on BBC Radio 4’s “Woman’s Hour that she “cut all the nails to make it easier for me to use my guns.”
Asylenko, who revealed that she was able to master the use of the weapons in just hours, noted that all men and women in the nation’s legislature are ready “to take up arms.”
