That's because the Ukraine war is an existential war where they stand a very real chance of losing. One of the other tells is they imprison anti-war dissidents.
Public Anti-war dissent and women in combat roles aren't going to cause you to lose a war, but if you're trying to give yourself the best odds of winning, your enemies broadcasting a bunch of raped and beaten female GIs on TV along with your citizens going out in public saying what a bad idea the war is probably isn't giving you that.
I doubt most of us in the West have seen an existential war of this sort in our lifetimes, so we aren't used to their rules.
Hell they imprison people who film successful missiles strikes by the Russkies because it goes against the narrative they push about shooting down 31 out of 28 missiles. Although that seems to have died down a bit especially since the Ukie air command admitted they weren't able to shoot down Russia cruise missiles.
I agree with that this is absolutely an existential war and something we haven't seen before. This isn't ieds and mortars and desert brushfire wars. This is another European land conflict I'm sure enough will be known as WWIII once the Poles and Baltics jump in. It's crazy how we've gotten to this point.
