As the internet is filled with photos and videos showing people’s plight amid the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the positive outlook and upbeat attitude of Ukrainian soldiers and citizens are comforting millions of people who are disturbed by the current situation. According to Kyiv Independent, the Ukrainian Defence Ministry issued an order in December last year that expanded the scope of conscription for women in the event of a war-like emergency. Women aged between 18 to 60 years who work in almost 100 professional fields were obliged to register with their local conscription office, as per the order. Professionals from the banking industry, the media and even restaurant workers were among those on the list. The Wall Street Journal reported that women account for 15 percent of Ukraine’s armed force. This percentage is likely to have increased as a result of the full military mobilisation orders. However, people have praised the woman soldier for her bravery and hopefulness. They also prayed for the safety of the soldier. Saluting the woman soldier for her optimism, a Twitter user prayed for her safety.
