> Former U.S. Special Envoy for Ukraine Keith Kellogg said he supports mobilizing Ukrainian women into the military, arguing they fight no worse than men and that their service is important to society. Former Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov has likewise urged considering compulsory service regardless of gender, which would require parliament to change the law.
