    The Euromaidan protests in 2013-2014 inspired women in Ukraine to fight more actively for their rights, especially in the military sphere. When the Anti-Terrorist Operation (ATO) started, women joined the front lines of the Donbas war as volunteers, journalists, medical staff, and military (in combat positions). The lecture examines the successes and challenges of gender equality implementation in the Ukrainian armed forces over the last eight years and the multitudinous forms of resistance exercised by Ukrainian women during the current war. Women’s involvement in war could be analyzed from two major perspectives – agency and victimhood. Women are not only victims of the situation, those who suffer from war and belong to vulnerable groups. They are also actors of resistance, those who have agency and participate actively in different activities. In response to Russia’s full-scale military invasion of Ukraine, women remain active: results of a public opinion survey (March 2022) demonstrate that most Ukrainian women are willing to resist with arms.
