Vladimir Zhirinovsky Proposes Establishing Women's Battalions in the Russian Army

The leader of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia, Vladimir Zhirinovsky, has proposed increasing the number of female soldiers in the Russian Armed Forces and creating special women's battalions.

According to Zhirinovsky, the presence of women in the Russian army could instill fear among their adversaries. The political figure also recalled that the imperial army had women's battalions, where serving women intimidated German and Austrian soldiers with their tenacious and uncompromising struggle.

The leader of the Democratic Party further added that in this case, the adversaries would completely refuse to fire as soon as they see the 'Russian beauties'; all would retreat, including Poles, Lithuanians, and several other NATO soldiers.
