You may have heard about Ukrainian men under 60 being required by law to remain in the country and fight under the country's recent declaration of martial law, while women, children, and the elderly are permitted to leave, and indeed are fleeing in massive numbers. While the country's government may believe in chivalry that way, many Ukrainian women -- from housewives and teachers to beauty queens and members of parliament -- are taking up arms and volunteering to fight as well. Just thought this was a story worth sharing.

Well, these men are military reservists. It isn't uncommon for a country with a reservists force to expect them to fight during a war time scenario. 

For sure. I just thought the story was worth sharing and adding to that.
