Latvia is considering introducing mandatory military service for women, the country’s defense minister has revealed.
Andris Spruds voiced his support for drafting women into national defense service sometime by 2028 in a post on X. The minister conceded, however, that there was “homework to be done: a public debate, the improvement of the infrastructure of the service, and the provision of materiel and equipment tailored specifically to women.”
Mandatory conscription for women “won’t happen today or tomorrow,” he reiterated in an interview on local television.
Readily embracing the US and NATO-driven "Russia threat" narrative, the Baltic nation, with a population of less than two million, has been beefing up its military. NATO's proxy war against Russia in Ukraine made it even more eager to toe the hawkish Western stance, and reintroduce conscription last year.
