☆ Ukraine's female soldiers are fighting on two fronts — against Russians, and sexism within their ranks
  + stars: | 2024-03-08 | by ( Holly Ellyatt | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +11 min
Ukraine's Ministry of Defense said last October that almost 43,000 women are currently serving in the military, a 40% increase since 2021, before Russia's full-scale invasion. Female combatants in Ukraine say the war is changing societal perceptions of a woman's strength, capabilities and worth, but change doesn't happen overnight. "At anything else, military women are no different from men ... [and] the more women there are who perform their duties well, the better the attitude towards military women becomes. Ukraine's defense ministry is also keen to highlight efforts it has made to level the playing field for female recruits. It's a far cry from 2021 when Ukrainian female troops were photographed practising for a parade wearing high heels with onlookers calling the policy sexist and idiotic.

The groom could not wait to kiss the bride. He kissed her when she walked down the aisle, and during the ceremony. He kissed her after his vows, after hers, and again when they finally said “I do.”Maksym Merezhko, 43, and the bride, Yuliia Dluzhynska, 39, both serve in Ukraine’s military and had traveled to Kyiv the night before from the eastern Donetsk region. The couple had been officially married days before, signing a marriage license in a stuffy room in Sloviansk. “It takes a lot of time to organize a wedding, and when you are on the front line, you don’t have that free time,” said Kseniia Drahaniuk, Zemliachky’s co-founder.

Credit... Laura Boushnak for The New York Times“He has never seen me like this,” Ms. Dluzhynska said of the groom. But when Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, Mr. Merezhko rejoined the military to fight. About a month later, Ms. Dluzhynska followed, as a medic, to be near him. At the wedding ceremony, in an event space with a roof deck overlooking Kyiv, cloth azaleas formed a white arch. In his vows, Mr. Merezhko drew laughs describing how he had worn dirty shorts to their first meeting.
