Daughter of ex-Trump envoy Kellogg pushes back on father's call to conscript Ukrainian women
"If women can fight, why not?... (but) they should volunteer to fight," said Meaghan Mobbs, the daughter of Keith Kellogg and president of an NGO helping foreign soldiers in Ukraine.
Meaghan Mobbs, the daughter of former U.S. special envoy for Ukraine Keith Kellogg, has spoken out against her father's suggestion to conscript Ukrainian women into the military. In an interview with Suspilne, Mobbs emphasized that while women should be encouraged to join the military, they should not be forced to do so. She noted that her perspective differs from her father's, given his background in Afghanistan.
Mobbs stressed that women should have the option to volunteer for various roles in the military, including intelligence and medical support, where she believed they might excel. However, she also noted that men and women have different strengths and that it's important to involve women in the roles they are best suited for. Mobbs expressed hope that U.S. peace negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, scheduled to visit Kyiv, would gain a better understanding of Ukraine's resilience and support Ukraine more actively.
