Forty-two thousand women serve in the Ukrainian military, and the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense recently officially approved a female uniform. Lesia Bakalets has the story from Kyiv. VOA footage by Yevhenii Shynkar.

    This is a fantastic step forward. These things can make a huge difference so it’s a really important change. Well done.

    And I bet they are awful. I hate how womens clothes never fit me, have stupid necklines and end too far away from the waist, and never ever have pockets. I stopped shopping in the womenswear section years ago. I even buy mens army surplus if I need durable outdoor gear. I have ample hips, and bust, but menswear still fits.

      I haven’t been in any military, but my understanding is the army kit is usually terrible for men. but i can see, kit designed for men, would be even more uncomfortable for women. So, maybe this helps? I hope, but I am not a woman nor a soldier.
