Olena is the woman people were making fun of on twitter, after the video in which she was shocked after a bloody skirmish. Still, she stayed there and continued her fight. Much more than any of those making fun of her could ever do.
I don't want to tell you....some of them women forced by recruiter on the street to fight on frontline, you witness "democracy"
@@ilhamnumber Yeah... no. Both you and I know you can't give a single proof of this being the case.
@@akselmani i want to give you the link but UA-cam doesnt allow to put telegram link.......those "forced" women get to frontline after get caught trying to cross the Border.. and the newest video shows that 34 people get caught in the Border trying to escape out of fear get drafted, some of them are women, you know what Will happen to those women and man (send to the frontline)....if you ready the recent news that ukraine is short of soldier, well you know what to expect?!

Cowards who have never been to war will never understand. They will however sit there and type sexist and bigoted nonsense.
Being small is not a negative. A sniper isn’t meant to be large. A sniper isn’t meant to be noticeable.
Well, there are no such things as dedicated snipers in NATO doctrine. Snipers are indeed a pair of two, a sniper and an observer, who regularly change position, because of eye fatigue, so its somewhat random whichone will be handling the rifle when the shot should be fired. Its also the observers duty to handle an assault gun if they get into a fight, since a sniper rifle is a very subpar weapon for that.
Yeah, all 60000 women are snipers.
@@ralado31They are not.
To be honest They just choose some of them for using them because of the media.

@@gyanendrakumar2350 they should make a battalion of women with women as their only leader and start advancing to the frontline to regain the lost territories.
Because almost all Ukrainian men are conscripted and can be called up for military service only because of their gender, and only some women are conscripted because they have a certain education, professional experience, or certain training. Therefore, most of the women in the Ukrainian army are volunteers, and among the men, there are a lot of both volunteers and conscripts. On, the other hand it is true, that the Ukrainian army should develop a friendly Environment for Women.

"The majority serve in supporting roles" still a long way to go for equality.....
She did say they have to be able to complete the same tests as men for the role. The tests for a front line soldier and other roles is quite different. This is better than some militaries which lower the standards for women in certain roles, now that is inequality.
I don't that. Like men throughout history and in most societies willingly go fight to protect the women and children. The vast majority of men would gladly go and fight and say no you stay we will protect you. How is that a bad thing that we want to protect women.
Supporting role.. no equality
Most male soldiers serve in support roles. It takes a lot of logistics to support the soldiers on the front lines. During WW2 only 10% of US military personnel ever saw combat.

I believe Ukraine will win, and after the war, Ukraine will be a different country.
Ukraine's Army counted approximately 2.2 million military personnel as of 2024. Of them, 900,000 were active military staff, the si called under 20% to s actually less then 10 and in the range if 2.2 millions that is less then 5 %, now those women fighting for Ukraine are titans , but as general women's participation is less then dw wants us to believe
Can anyone translate this into English?
Obviously a cherrypicking story for the narrative. lol
Used to work in a bakery..
wait for a couple of months and we will hear a lot of these women in the meat grinder. The so called best snipet from Canada and other seasoned soldiers serve din Afghanistan went back home and explained how terrible the war in Russia/Ukraine. Missiles/Rockets doesn’t discriminate women and men.
Those "best" fighters from the US and other western countries had never fought without massive air superiority. Where, if you so much as stub your toes, you can call for a helicopter to get you out of the situation.
Ukraine never had air superiority. Their soldiers are used to fighting without it, and it's MUCH harder.
Those international fighters from western countries who stayed all say they had to eat a lot of humble pie and adapt to fighting without the the mighty US airforce having their back at all times. I've seen quite a bit of interviews with foreign fighters, they all say that.
Women can aim and pull a trigger as well as any man. It comes down to training and skill, gender doe not matter. If I had a woman who wished to come fight, I would eagerly welcome and accept them as part of the team. If she can do the job, why not let her fight. Even new men must prove themselves in battle, no more than as a woman would. I applaud such women.
What troops did you fight in?
I thought Ukraine had more than 700000 soldiers
Exactly. So, 700000 minus 400000 equals 300000 soldiers lost. That is 10 times more casualties than what Ukr President stated recently (31000).

There's a good reason why we have men and women's categories in sports. Denying the fact that women have a physical disadvantage in situations where physical ability is the difference between life and death doesn't empower women it puts an unfair burden upon them, one which is likley to get them killed.

@@futuregirlsniperofarmy7925 either sex can show excellence in all of these areas but physically one has a distinct advantage over the other.

4:58 cause its not true. it depends on your character and they way you were raised. there are women AND men out there that think twice before doing something, staying calm under pressure, think ahead and that have their emotions in check etc., your actions are not based on your gender (or at least not solely on it). she is complaing about inequality but plays the same tune just for the other side. great to see these women fight alongside men though to defend their country! very respectable and encouraging to see!
Yes, I agree. While I have tremendous respect for these women, it's not accurate to say ALL women act a certain way and ALL men another.
There is still plenty of discrimination against women in the US military . It's not near rampant , But it's there on a larger scale than what most people would imagine .
Saying zelensky can defeat Russia is like saying biden can run up the stairs without stumbling.
A difference exits between a woman wanting to fight to protect her home versus one who thinks carrying a gun in the mud will make her more respected. As for the sniper, the journalist was wrong to give her credit for being small in stature on the battlefield. Being small for a sniper is an expression of being less noticed and not part of a large military unit with a noticeable footprint.

@@jakel8627 Zelensky didn't try to prevent the conflict through diplomacy because he lacks honor and integrity.
In 2014 there was a coup. Soon after, there was a massacre in Odessa (dozens of people were burned alive). Ethnic Russians living in Ukraine were treated as subhuman. Their language and culture was being oppressed. A civil war broke out due to the rise in ethnic tensions. For 8 years the Ukrainian military was indiscriminately shelling civilians living in Donbas.
If Zelensky honored the Minsk agreement and pledged neutrality, none of this would have happened. The 8 year civil war would have ended and Donbas would have remained part of Ukraine. War is the ultimate failure of diplomacy.
Zelensky admitted that Ukraine had no intention to honor the Minsk agreements.
Who didn't want peace? Who advised against the 2022 peace talks in April? Hint: someone visited Zelensky in Kiev at that time.
Russia's national security was compromised once nato began to expand eastwards. Russia clearly stated that Ukraine joining nato was a red line (November 2021) and unfortunately this concern was never taken seriously. The Russians openly stated: if nothing changes, we will be forced to act in order to defend our national security. Enhancing the national security of one country at the expense of another is unacceptable. The Russians have legitimate security concerns.
20th September, 2021. Ukraine launched military drills with US and NATO.
NATO is not a defensive alliance. Nato illegally bombed Yugoslavia (a direct violation of the U.N. Charter).
We should never forget what they did to Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq etc.
Who blew up the pipeline causing an environmental disaster?
Zelensky banned all opposition and arrested a leading priest.
Zelensky tried to invoke article 5 under false pretenses. Remember the incident in Poland.
Ethnic Russians living in Ukraine were treated as subhuman. Their language and culture was being oppressed.
Poroshenko said, “Our children will go to schools and kindergartens-theirs will hide in the basements”.
Russians will never forget the 2014 Odessa massacre. The whole world needs to know about it.
Why was Denis Kireev eliminated? He was a member of Ukraine's negotiating team during the peace negotiations. He wanted to help his country.
Ukraine has a hit list. They target artists, journalists and ordinary citizens. Hundreds of children are on this list. 13 year old Faina Savenkova was placed on this list.
Pink Floyd's Roger Waters is on this list. Jimmy Dore (American stand-up comedian, podcaster) and Aaron Maté (Canadian writer and journalist) are on this list.
There is evidence that Ukrainian troops have been indiscriminately shelling civilians in Donbas. (they used petal mines and targeted areas where there was no military presence).
The azov troops trapped in the azovstal steelworks in Mariupol used human shields. They refused to allow civilians to leave despite of humanitarian corridors being present.
Russia held a proposed cease fire in order for the civilians to leave, but azov would not allow the civilians to leave.
Ukraine has committed many acts of terrorism (car bombs and other forms of assassination). Darya Dugina (journalist) RIP.
The first terrorist attack on the Kerch bridge killed the truck driver and the individuals in the adjacent car (innocent civilian victims).

@@jakel8627 December 30, 2016, president poroshenko signed a law that restricted import of books into Ukraine from Russia.
In September 2018 Lviv Oblast Council introduced a ban on the public use of the Russian-language cultural products (movies, books, songs, etc.)
Ukraine banned 19 million Russian books. Ukraine banned the activities of religious organizations affiliated with the Russian Orthodox churches.
Out of 31,0000 officially dead Ukrainian soldiers approximately how many are women?
nobody can and will answer that
700,000 missing
You heard the new numbers in the media slowly started to dilute in. The anchor said out of 400000, 20% is women. One main point you have to take is what happened about the 700000 number? Answer is, 700000 minus 400000 equals 300000 soldiers dead or missing. And Ukr President said 31000 dead, so roughly he divides the number of casualties by 10 and presents as official number, in reality it is 300000 dead, not 31000.
@@gauravdube8133The real number off dead Ukrainian solider is about 70 000 and about 200 000 wounded and captured. About 700 000 is total military services but many off them are not soldiers. Soo in this moment Ukraine is in the problem to regrute more military in the front line. On the other side Russia has much more dead soldiers about 120 000, and about 300 000 wounded and captured.
@@user-iq5zx8uv3k I guess you didn't heard this anchor and many other media houses. All are talking about the 700000 number. And if you say 70000 dead, then why Ukr President saying 31000 dead? Why he is not speaking the truth?
if women are out fighting can men go and leave with the kids?
Why it's even a news?
Bravo! Imagine 60,000 women in uniform in the Ukrainian army and 6,000 on the front lines!
Send Olena and Zelensky to front line!!!!
The men are dead and gone NOW the puppet president is sending the women for a loosing battle.Cant see MRS ZELENSKYY in the frontline. Why are other women only sacrificing their life to save the country why no mrs zelenskyy also join and safeguard the country
women are disproportionally affected by the war? WTF are you talking about? How many men lost their lives defending their wives, sisters, mothers, and daughters? Those men were not just displaced. They did go to war. It is time for women to get into the military but do not ply the victim card.
I posted the same thing. Even when men dies they still not the biggest victim 😅
Always look at their firearm; when it looks new without scuffs or scratches, then it has never been in the field.
Wow!!!
Fighting for 🇺🇸 🇬🇧🇪🇺🇫🇷🇩🇪 NATO policy not 🇺🇦
You'd think that the battlefield would be a lot tidier than it is.
I agree with the sniper. I feel as though women are more capable in the emotional rationale. I have seen it where men act out of anger, whereas women are able to rationally think prior to acting, emotions or not. I always thought that this was advantage. Certain jobs like snipers would be a great fit for women. I do agree that there are physical limitations, but this isn't WWII where hand-to-hand combat took place in the trenches. Access to weaponry is key. Best of luck to both women and men. Great job Ukraine!
Those woman are amazing 😊👍
Happy Womans Day!
Sretan dan svim ženama na svijetu. Vi ste te koje možete spasiti svijet od ovog ludila.
Now thats some women. Wow im impressed. Respect ❤
