Can women travel abroad?.

The Ministry of Defense stated that so far there are no restrictions on women traveling abroad and there are no plans to introduce such restrictions..

“There are no restrictions related to mobilization for crossing the border for women, and as of today, such restrictions are not planned,” Malyar explained..

According to her, the Armed Forces of Ukraine now do not need forced mobilization of women.. Since February 24, and since 2014, not a single woman in Ukraine has been forcibly mobilized.

She urged not to speculate on this issue during the war.

“The Russian media space once again launched a fake about the mobilization of women in Ukraine. This fake was picked up by us. Yes, this is a topic that will get a lot of views, but there is no need to speculate on this during the war,” Maliar said..
