[0:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7KGlBGprzam0/en/women-on-military-service-and-the-fight-for-ukraine-s-territories?t=12) Maybe it's unrealistic, but I think it should be of their own free will.

[0:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7KGlBGprzam0/en/women-on-military-service-and-the-fight-for-ukraine-s-territories?t=21) A few moments later. Of course, I'd be against it, but I understand that I wouldn't be able to go. Not every mind could handle such a sight, probably. So, well, a person has to be prepared for it. prepared for it.

[0:36](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7KGlBGprzam0/en/women-on-military-service-and-the-fight-for-ukraine-s-territories?t=36) I think we need to keep fighting, because it's too late to back down. And if we give up our territories, in a few years, it will flare up again, and the war will start crushing us even more.

[0:48](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7KGlBGprzam0/en/women-on-military-service-and-the-fight-for-ukraine-s-territories?t=48) A few moments later. No, I wouldn't go. Well, my eyesight is poor.

[0:52](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7KGlBGprzam0/en/women-on-military-service-and-the-fight-for-ukraine-s-territories?t=52) First of all, I wouldn't be any help. As a woman, I'd want a family, not to fight. So, yeah.

[0:58](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7KGlBGprzam0/en/women-on-military-service-and-the-fight-for-ukraine-s-territories?t=58) They came marching. These were our territories, we lived peacefully.

[1:02](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7KGlBGprzam0/en/women-on-military-service-and-the-fight-for-ukraine-s-territories?t=62) Then they came and were like, "Hello, we need ours back."

[1:06](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7KGlBGprzam0/en/women-on-military-service-and-the-fight-for-ukraine-s-territories?t=66) Then let's take Kuban back, then. A few moments later.

[1:09](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7KGlBGprzam0/en/women-on-military-service-and-the-fight-for-ukraine-s-territories?t=69) With my eyesight and my build, I won't be of any use in the military. What's the point? If I won't be useful.

[1:17](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7KGlBGprzam0/en/women-on-military-service-and-the-fight-for-ukraine-s-territories?t=77) Still, we have to fight, because that's our character, our nation.

[1:21](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7KGlBGprzam0/en/women-on-military-service-and-the-fight-for-ukraine-s-territories?t=81) Well, we can't surrender, we simply can't capitulate.

[1:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7KGlBGprzam0/en/women-on-military-service-and-the-fight-for-ukraine-s-territories?t=85) A few moments later. Of course not. I don't see myself being useful there.

[1:30](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/7KGlBGprzam0/en/women-on-military-service-and-the-fight-for-ukraine-s-territories?t=90) We can do anything, and I can do anything on my own front. Yes.
