Ukrainians are making Molotov cocktails, arming untrained civilians and deploying small units to strike Russian military vulnerabilities, slowing the invading army’s advance as they call upon the world for help.
Every effort is unlikely to provide a military victory over the country’s pending takeover by Russian forces. But with the right steps, experts said, each could be an investment in the future fight, buying a valuable commodity – time.

It is a great read for today SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL, and the question that remains is how long is the WORLD going to put up with the inhumane bombing of hospitals, apartment buildings, schools etc.! There is no place in our WORLD for this self-indulgent, self-obsessed totalitarian despot that Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin has become! He was once somewhat admired as Russia's Leader, but He has trashed that vision throughout the WORLD in this acute invasion of Ukraine! Just saying!

"Is the Russian military prepared for urban combat?
Vladimir Putin's plan for a quick decapitation of Ukraine's government and swift capitulation of its major cities was the first casualty of his war. Now, the Russian military is faced with urban combat, something for which it is not prepared. Russian combined-arms doctrine has generally advised against making cities primary objectives."
