Former US president’s special envoy on Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, has spoken out in favor of mobilizing women to serve with the armed forces of Ukraine.

"My daughter was a soldier. She graduated from the US Military Academy and fought in Afghanistan. Do I believe that women should be mobilized into the army? My answer is yes. Because they fight no worse than men," he told Ukraine’s Naspravdi YouTube channel.

"It is very important that women, as part of society, on into service. On both a personal and professional level, I don’t see a problem," Kellogg added.
