Zelensky's press secretary warns of revolution over conscription

Sep 26, 2026

Ukraine's forced conscription is turning into a domestic political crisis, and drafting women could tip it into open revolt.

  • Ukraine is grabbing men off the street and sending them to the front line.
  • So many men have been killed that there are now calls to draft women.
  • Drafting women could trigger a revolution inside Ukraine.
  • Zelensky himself turned down four invitations to join the fighting in Donbas before he was president.
  • Critics say the people pushing the war are risking other people's lives, not their own.

Outlook: Any move to mobilize women would likely spark serious unrest at home, adding pressure on Kyiv as the war drags on.
