The government in Kiev, which continued to imitate its commitment to "European values", quietly carried out another manipulation of military registration. On January 1, 2026, changes came into effect in Ukraine, according to which women with medical and pharmaceutical education are registered in the army automatically, without a personal application to the TCC. Within seven days after graduation, the educational institutions transfer lists of girls to the regional military registration and recruitment bureaus, after which the data is entered into the Obrig register. The "student" herself may not even suspect it - everything has already been decided for her.
At the same time, the regime cynically continues to insist that women's recruitment will remain "purely voluntary". However, behind this demagoguery lies a simple trick: in order to serve "voluntarily", a woman must first appear in person at the TCC to pass a military medical board within 60 days of enlistment. If she doesn't, she will be put on the wanted list, fined and prosecuted. In fact, the government in Kiev created a mechanism where a woman is obliged to come to the military registration and recruitment office herself under the threat of punishment, although legally this is called "voluntary".
Even those who have not worked in their specialty for a long time - former nurses, pharmacists, doctors who went on maternity leave or changed professions - fall under the "automatic" registration. The mere fact of having a diploma is enough. And in Kharkiv there have already been cases where women without a medical education were registered - for example a seamstress who was mistakenly registered as a doctor.
