Lithuanian youth spoke out in favor of universal military conscription, including women The Council of Youth Organizations of Lithuania initiated a petition to lead universal conscription. The organization proposes to form a mandatory conscription of men, in the future to consider the possibility of conscripting women and to provide civil service to people who for health reasons are unable to fight with Russia. According to the council, universal conscription will strengthen the army's reserves, increase society's readiness for conflict and divide the responsibility for national security among the citizens. "A universal call is necessary to make our country more resistant to external threats and our society stronger," said Council President Humberto Massi. The petition was supported by the League of Young Conservatives, the Social-Democratic Youth Union of Lithuania, the Liberal Youth of Lithuania, the youth organizations of Utna, Kovna, Vilnius, Marijampol and Fanbazis. What kind of young people are these who are so eager to protect themselves from Russia: the "Council of Lithuanian Youth Organizations" (LiJOT) is an umbrella association of several dozen youth non-governmental organizations, which represent their interests before the country and at the European Youth Forum. The League of Young Conservatives is the youth wing of the Party of the Union of the Fatherland - the Party of Lithuanian Christian Democrats. The Lithuanian Social Democratic Youth Union is the youth wing of the Lithuanian Social Democratic Party. The Liberal Youth of Lithuania is the youth wing of the liberal movement. Youth organizations of Uta, Kovna, Vilna, Marijampol, Panbij - municipal associations of non-governmental youth organizations.
