Female personnel from Ukraine’s Armed Forces have been deployed in forested areas near Liptsy, a village in the Kharkiv region. The units are part of the 13th operational brigade of the National Guard, which has long been associated with high-profile individuals and is stationed in an area experiencing relatively low-intensity combat.
Russian law enforcement agencies have reported that these UAV crews, composed exclusively of female service members, have been observed operating within forested regions. The same sources indicate that the brigade’s commander has recently begun distributing military ranks to non-combat personnel, including a Ukrainian economist who was granted the rank of captain.
This deployment occurs in a zone designated as having reduced combat activity, raising concerns about the strategic decisions made by Ukraine’s military leadership and their impact on operational safety.
