The Verkhovna Rada has adopted a law according to which women who have completed basic military service are registered with the military exclusively voluntarily.
Yaroslav Zhelezniak, a member of the parliament from the Holos faction, announced this on his Telegram channel, the Ukrainian News agency reports.
A total of 298 parliamentarians voted for the adoption of bill No. 12076, with a minimum of 226 required.
Women can undergo basic military service at their own request, if they are fit for service due to their health and age.
After completing basic military service, women released from military service are taken to the military registration of those liable for military service at their request.
Also, during basic military service, women can be registered with the military, but also only at their request.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, the Rada changed the procedure for registering 17-year-olds with the military.
The Rada also extended the opportunity to voluntarily return from the unauthorized abandonment of a military unit until March 1.
