Possible Roles for Women:
-
Patrol police: Kovalchik noted that mixed crews are already successfully working in the patrol police, and women can handle this task well.
-
Military enlistment offices: According to him, women can hold any positions in territorial military enlistment offices, where they will be supported by soldiers who have been injured in the conflict zone.
-
Territorial defense battalions and volunteer community defense formations: Kovalchik believes that women can perform important tasks such as guarding bridges, crossings, and critical infrastructure buildings, including serving at checkpoints.
-
Training: The soldier believes that women can be useful in conducting training for young people, teaching them military service skills and helping to develop necessary skills in critical situations.
