Manipulation In Ukraine, women's military uniforms are produced due to the upcoming mass mobilization

Russian mass media and individual users of social networks are spreading information that allegedly, due to the upcoming mobilization of women in Ukraine, they are launching the production of women's military uniforms. It is manipulation.

Tailoring women's military uniforms is a volunteer initiative of Kyiv City Council member Iryna Nikorak. She was motivated by the fact that currently, service members are forced to wear men's uniforms and shoes since there is no women's field uniform in the Ukrainian army. Almost 90% of women sew the received form on their own if at all there is such an opportunity. The volunteer believes that in the conditions of war, it is necessary to provide men and women with comfortable and functional uniforms that consider the peculiarities of physiology. The issue of providing military servicewomen with appropriate uniforms has been repeatedly raised for eight years. Due to the full-scale war, the problem became more acute. According to Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Malyar, 37,000 women serve in the Ukrainian army and must perform daily tasks at the front. Therefore, tailoring women's military uniforms is in no way connected with the "mass conscription of women into the ranks of the Armed Forces." In this way, Russian propaganda presented the volunteer initiative to help servicemen as an action of the authorities in the context of the fake "future mobilization of women." By the way, we have also repeatedly talked about the spread of other fakes regarding the mobilization of women.
