A recent claim circulating on social media suggests that Ukraine may be considering the conscription of women into its military efforts against Russia. The rumor has gained traction based on reports of a supposed order by the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense for 150,000 winter military uniforms designed for women. This claim was cited by the account "Military Summary" on X, which was previously flagged by TF1 for spreading disinformation about the conflict in Ukraine. The Ukrainian government has denied the existence of such an order, stating that no official records show the procurement of this quantity of uniforms. Additionally, the government has formally refuted any claims of a planned mobilization of women, indicating that there are no legislative initiatives or internal discussions about conscripting women. The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense has pointed out that it has been producing military equipment specifically for women, such as winter gear and body armor, as part of its efforts to support women in the armed forces, which are based solely on voluntary enlistment. In April 2025, the ministry announced the development of "winter windproof jackets for female military personnel" classified as "type 3." These specifications were detailed in an official document from 2025. According to a report from Ukrainska Pravda, the Ukrainian government did purchase military equipment designed for women in the spring of 2026. However, no reliable sources indicate that the quantity of such purchases approached 150,000 units. Moreover, such purchases do not confirm any future conscription of women. In response to the circulating claims, the Ukrainian government stated that there is no information about such an acquisition by the Ministry of Defense and that there are no legislative initiatives, draft laws, or internal discussions regarding the mobilization of women. However, some specific exceptions to this rule seem to fuel doubts on social media. In recent days, some French-speaking internet users have shared images of documents that appear to be summons for Ukrainian women to military recruitment centers, suggesting the implementation of forced conscription for women. However, these documents do not indicate a mobilization order. The authenticity of these documents has not been established, and their format varies according to the posts. According to the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense, these images are attributed to Russian propaganda and are false documents. The current state of martial law in Ukraine, in effect since the large-scale Russian invasion on February 24, 2022, mandates the general mobilization of men aged 25 to 60. Women are excluded from this requirement. However, the law does state that women who have obtained medical or pharmaceutical qualifications must register for military service, as noted by SUD.UA, a Ukrainian legal news outlet. According to the specialized website, the registration itself does not constitute a reason for forced mobilization. The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense confirmed to Les Surligneurs that the document published on social media is not a summons for military enlistment, but a summons for the verification of information. The document corresponds to the initial summons notice, approved by a decision of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine on May 16, 2024, received by Ukrainian women who have relevant professional qualifications subject to military registration in order to verify their registration data. The registration of healthcare professionals or other relevant professionals with military authorities does not in any way condition their conscription. Regarding the rest of the population, Ukraine has announced no measures in favor of any compulsory enrollment of women.
