'War doesn't have a gender': the evolving role of women in Ukraine's armed forces | Ukraine podcast 

"War doesn't have a gender" - The names on the memorials in my country say otherwise.

These "journalists" think we are idiots...

I entirely agree with the concept of women fighting on the front line……. And I would like to vouch for my wife …… she would be a fantastic addition for the Ukrainian front line 😉😉

To Quote The Two Towers, “ the women of this country learned long ago that those without swords can still die upon them.” Жінки цієї країни давно зрозуміли, що ті, хто не має мечів, все ще можуть померти на них.

Next week, a Telegraph podcast, "War doesn't know age, it's but a number", as Ukraine starts mobilising 10 year olds.

The west is sure learning all the right lessons from this war.......

Never assume that war doesn't have gender. Always politely ask which pronouns they them prefers

Finally seeing some ambiguity. The biggest mistake the West made was making it clear to Russia that the only thing that would illicit a response from NATO would be a nuclear strike. They should have told Putin that if the civillian deaths continue there would be intervention. It should have been the Russians being forced to make the difficult decisions, not the other way around.

Happy women's day around the world. Congratulations Happy Women's day 🇸🇴🇺🇦 🙏

Ukraine might become the first country to officially acknowledge women existed in war. Not as the exception but the rule. Insecure men cant do it, its insulting to them to admit women also fought wars, even before any of us were born. The same goes for dark skin and lgtb soldiers, conveniently erased from white history.

As sad and as strange as it seems this war could finally result in women achieving complete equality with men and shatter the last remaining shards of backward patriarchal thinking. Especially in light of the fact that European males have always failed to defeat Russia in war. The feminist movement, if it adopts this cause and encourages women to fight, it could shame all of the males who dodged doing their patriotic duty and result in women achieving the final victory for both themselves and the West. There are already women generals and admirals in the West, so there is no reason they also could not also serve as frontline infantry troops.

Never ask a man about his Salary, A women her age, and Israel about its evidence

If Ukraine is preserving their soldiers at the front why are they recruiting women? Ellenskyy has performed an audit on the number of military personnel that Ukraine has and the audit came up with 700,000 that were missing. According to the 🌈🤡💩🌏 Telegraph all is mostly good in Ukraine 😂😂😂

Im confused why the hosts don't join the Ukranian Armed Forces 🧐

Towards the end of the second world war, the Austrian painter once said: 'The military staff around me have been suggesting we enlist women for frontline positions. I fought in the trenches of WW1 and saw war break the strongest of men. If we start enlisting women, what we fight for is longer worth fighting for.'

Ukraine is finished 🤔🤔😪

What narrative are we pushing again, if Ukrainian women are so oppressed and discriminated against than shouldn't Russia liberate them?

I don't make a big emphasis on Males and Females at work in general, however; I'm proud of the females representatives that don't have a lot of military experience in Ukraine who are standing up for all our freedoms in the Western World, Слава Україн

Something I haven’t seen among the Russian women’s assault battalions. In this war for sure.

Add-on... The industries of all Allied nations, and those industries in Axis nations, relied almost entirely on the "stay-at-home" women to keep industry alive and producing ships, tanks, autos, guns etc... And to be the critical care personnel on the front and near front lines. So many women "filled the need" as required. Even the "underground" relied on women. Each, in their way were heroes. In Ukraine, women are on the front lines with guns & grenades. They are snipers, sergeants, and commanders. Yes there are the cooks etc..., but that's not the limit. Later, like it or not, without women fledging as mothers, there will be no continuing nation.

Their troop well's run dry if they're coming out with these sort of statements.

Three launchers of the US Patriot anti-aircraft missile system were apparently destroyed by a tactical missile strike near Pokrovsk in the Donetsk People's Republic, sources told TASS. "The Iskander tactical missile system presumably wiped out three launchers of the US-made Patriot system near Pokrovsk," the sources stated. The same strike also liquidated Western mercenaries who operated the missile systems.

Why do Western sources keep repeating the trope of Russian forces attacking with S300? The S300 is an air defense system. Russia has far more effective (and economical) missiles and artillery to be used against Ukrainian positions. Whenever one hears of civilian infrastructure being hit by s300 , it is a sure sign these are wayward attempts by the Ukrainians to shoot down Russian drones and missiles using the backbone of their air defense, the s300.

My personal experience with women in the army goes back to the 1970s and 1980s in a European peacetime/coldwar environment. It took place at a juncture where the traditional roles for women were put to scrutiny and discussion and thus also subject to resistance from traditionally inclined army personnel. Nevertheless, there was even then a gradual acceptance of women in the army in roles that could potentially include combat. In that sense I would have to observe that in matters of personal resiliance and physical prowess in soldiering assignments, women generally outshone their male collegues to the point that I would find that I preferred having women in the more stressful and boundary transgressing assignments, since I found that aside from having to make a point of proving their mettle, their dedication to the objective(s) much mentally stronger and less subject to the constraints of personal deprivation of military life than their male counterparts. Their pain threshhold and their endurance in stressful situations, as well as their attention to essential details, are remarkably higher than that of most men in similar rank and function. It is my estimate and assessment that in current battlefield environments, as horrid and taxing these may be, these particular properties that women in general have proven to possess are essential to achieve the required vigour and lasting resilience to predictably achieve the set objectives. In short, when in a military pinch, I'd rather be finding a woman for the task at hand, since I found them to be more reliable and stable on the expected demands of the modern battlefield as we saw it then. As a Tank-commander, I would have welcomed a sharp female Hussar Tank-gunner over many of the men in the same role. As an Infantry troop commander, I would have happily had collegues or commanders in the roles of a female officer, NCO or specialist. In the staff functions that I later performed, I valued the analytic prowess and focus on detail in my female colleagues that was not overly distracted by matters of male machismo and that led to more thorough and qualitatively higher outcomes.

Try not to judge people before having a chat together 👍

interesting, thanks

A lot of russian bots/trolls/vatniks in this thread..............

The Americans, together with their European client states have kiboshed two peace agreements now, that could have ended the conflict before half a million people had been killed. The deal hammered out in Turkey in April 2022, has been summarised in the Wall Street Journal. Although they called it "punishing", the only punishment was for Washington's ambitions to put missiles on the Russian border. Oleksiy Arestovich has confirmed that the terms were extremely favourable for Ukraine, the most important being internationally guaranteed neutrality for Ukraine. Arestovich is now in exile for opposing Zelensky.

Nuland/Harris/Olena Zelenskyy leading sisters to shrapnel hell.

Thanks to us "good guys" winning the war, we now know that there are infinity genders.

9:25 Britain is 24th on the list of countries sending aid to Ukraine, according to the Kiel Institute.

Watch the huge stampede, all the young Ukrainian men desperately trying to cross the borders into Moldovia, Romania and Poland. The front lines are now full of Ukrainian middle aged and old men, Zelensky is very worried.,.

Boris approves of this message/

Ukraine is out of men and we are now sending women to the Frontline... There fixed it

they indeed try to make a TAMPON ZONE this time

Er - running out of men are we?

It is an episode of World Iwide's importance. How brutal and tragic their conditions are..The team seem even more focussed and united, after their recent travels.

❤ the world stand with UKRAINE 🇺🇦

Highly informative. Brilliant podcast.

Can we calculate Ukrainian expenses per month re: 10k drones at approximately $300 million a month. - wages a month - drones ($300m) - ammunition - military vehicles - defensive missiles - food - health care - fuel

It's HER turn

Actually it does...its feminine in both Russian and Ukrainian

Good episode. Thanks everyone! I have to complain (again) about the excessive number of ads interrupting the show. It seems that we arenin a cycle where we complain and then it gets better, then they come back again. On the upside- I've been listening since the beginning. Keep up the good work.

Send Ivan back to Moscow!

Very interesting. Perhaps I'm speaking out of turn here and not to make this overly political, but there are plently of cases where women in the military, being viewed as equal, has made a damned bit of difference. My Crossfit addicted niece at 24 did a helluva better job from day one than the majority of the male requites I've served with.

Shout-out to the equal and brave 8 million Ukraini women who fled and left behind their sons and husbands 💛💙

If Russia wanted to hit this motorcade, it would have done it! Ukraine Russia has no plans to get rid of Zelensky! The official representative of Russia in the United Nations Security Council Dmitry Polyansky spoke about the crisis around Ukraine. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Z40bwxdrkw4.html Russian News

THE EPISODE JUT GOT TOO WOK FOR ME

A video upload with no video. Stick to podcastng 😂

Nearly out of available manpower and the most corrupt of regimes (outside of North America) now moving on to the genocide of it's own women folk. Are there no men left within Ukraine with any remaining morals to put a stop to this?

Hopefully France has recognized what a terrific domestic economic potential there is in building good relations with a democratic Ukraine similarly to their king's decision with us minus the economic benefits although they make a fair sum from Yanks I reckon

A war so justified, Russians trick foreigners to fight it for them.

Further Russian advances, elite Ukrainian brigades pushed back, losing quantities of top Western kit. Parts of Kharkiv area being evacuated by Ukraine. Continued Russian air strikes on Kharkiv and vicinity. Possible Ukrainian own-goal shootdowns. Russians using fiber optic reels to render their FPV drones immune to ECM. Smuggling of Ukrainian men attempting escape to Moldova is a thing. Podcast: victory through DEI. Come on, folks. Time, as in a couple of years, could favor Ukraine, but will they last that long?

Slava ukraini

I remember seeing all these women in the infantry t the start of the war, and then they disappeared.

NO SOUND ❌️ 🚫

Finally feminists are doing something useful

NO VIDEO ❌ 🚫

Stop this nonsense war. No more military aid to Ukraine

SUE.FOR.PEACE NOT.ANOTHER.DIME

WOŁYŃ 43! NIE WYBACZYMY

NIE _DLA _UPADLINCOW W_POLSCE

What the hell are these idiots are talking about. First Woman in Space was Soviet. West is about 200 years behind russia and ukraine when it comes to respect and equality of women. Disgusting two-faced liars are the hosts of this show. Disgusting 🤢 🤮
