"On Ukraine's front lines, female soldiers testing Canadian-designed body armour
U.K. donated 2,000 sets, including curved ballistic plates, that offer better protection

Ukrainian MP Iryna Nykorak said the majority of the more than 10,000 women serving in combat in her country are wearing ballistic plates for men that are too bulky, heavy and don't fit their chests."
