if unwilling/unable to participate in defense, they are logistically an addition to the civilian population who are directly in harms way and must be defended, housed, fed, etc. this is just one possible issue - I am sure there are others.
Ukraine doesn’t seem to give a shit if people are willing, they get forced to fight anyway.
Also, civilians are still useful in war time. Ukraine still has an economy, despite the war. They’re needed to run industrial production, logistical support, distribution, transportation, etc.
Many are children, though, and that definitely doesn’t help Ukraine.
