According to the Center for Combating Disinformation, pro-Russian Telegram channels are spreading photos of a document on the conscription of women, which was allegedly signed by the Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Serhiy Shaptala. The document states that "by June 15, 2022, it is necessary to prepare lists of women on the military register and carry out mobilization activities, and by June 31, 2022, to organize activities for military registration of women aged 18 to 60 years." However, this is a fake, and the document attached to the posts is also false.

According to Oleh Honcharuk, military commissar of the Chernihiv Regional Territorial Center of Manning and Social Support, there is no need for compulsory conscription. The Center adds that this fake is designed for "domestic" consumers and aims to create centers of social instability in some regions of Ukraine. " Such a fake is needed to destabilize the situation in the country. He said things were going too badly at the front, so the authorities would mobilize women because there was a lack of human resources. However, some Ukrainian women join the Armed Forces voluntarily, without announcing mobilization.
