During times of war, it is common for nations to impose obligatory military service on young citizens, often suspending certain freedoms. Ukraine is no exception. Yet, even in democracies, conscripts maintain rights and require protections.
Olha Reshetylova is a key figure in this narrative. Tasked by the Ukrainian government, her role focuses on safeguarding soldiers not from enemy forces, but from abuses by their own military leadership. These abuses can include harsh and unfair treatment.
Reshetylova, aged 40, is deeply invested in her mission. She is a mother of two sons, aged 5 and 14. The ongoing conflict, which has endured for more than four years, means her sons might be thrust into combat if it continues. Her husband is already serving in the military. For Olha, protecting soldiers’ rights is personal and vital.
