Mobilization of women in Ukraine is not being conducted, prepared, or considered. This is stated in an official statement dated August 25, published by the press service of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Office.

The Verkhovna Rada Committee on National Security, Defense, and Intelligence officially reported that there are no legislative initiatives, draft laws, or even internal discussions regarding the mobilization of women.

It is emphasized that women in Ukraine join the Defense Forces exclusively on a voluntary basis.

It is added that statements by individual speakers who publicly speculate on this topic do not reflect actual legislative work or the Committee's position.

Ukrainians are urged not to fall for manipulation and to use only official sources of information.

We remind you that earlier in Ukraine three separate electronic petitions were registered , the authors of which call on the Cabinet of Ministers and the Verkhovna Rada to significantly change the approach to women fulfilling their military duty during martial law. The initiators propose to extend mobilization to women without children, equalize conscription rules for both sexes, and introduce mandatory military training.

Is it possible in the future to connect the airport and the train station for passenger convenience? When will park-and-ride parking lots finally appear and how does it work in Europe?  These and other important issues will be discussed in Lviv at an editorial meeting of the media hub "Your City" on September 16 at 4:00 PM with leading experts in the field – French architect and former head of the Association of Architecture in France (AMO) Martin Duplantier, chief architect of Lviv Anton Kolometsytsev, designer and head of "Lvivski Linii" LLC Borys Hanailyuk and director of the strategy and transformation department of JSC "Ukrzaliznytsia" Oleh Yakovenko.     During the meeting, it is planned to discuss both the general vision for the development of the city and the agglomeration as a logistics hub, as well as specific existing and future projects necessary for its implementation...
