With the Russian army entering the outskirts of Kiev, the security of Kiev has not been easy to maintain, and it is expected that a large-scale street battle will break out on February 26 or even be completely controlled by the Russian army. In this case, the Ukrainian government distributed 18,000 assault rifles to the people of Kiev for "resistance to the Russian" attack. Previously, the Ukrainian government was also teaching the public to use the Molotov cocktail Molotov in order to attack Russian military vehicles.
Nominally, of course. The Idea of the Ukrainian government is to plunge the Russian military into a tough and slow street battle in order to undermine Russia's political intentions to achieve control and deplete the offensive capabilities of the Russian army. Obviously, the street battle is very long, which is a huge consumption of personnel and materials, and it is naturally unfavorable for the Russian army seeking a quick victory.
Allegedly wiped out by the Russian military makeup infiltration group
Not only that, but the Ukrainian government is not entirely focused on street fighting. It is obviously unlikely that an untrained militia would stand up to the Mechanized Russian Forces. The key is that after the fall of Kiev, ukraine wants serious security problems and infrastructure damage in Kiev. While Russia has to increase the scale of its deployment, it has to face a serious humanitarian disaster and governance dilemma, undermining Russia's political intentions to withdraw calmly. It can even be said that it lays the chips for the subsequent political game.
Regrettably, all this will come at the cost of the lives of ordinary Ukrainians. The main threat they are likely to face is precisely not the Russian army, it is likely to be the gun-wielding but unable to distinguish between the enemy and the enemy, or the gun-wielding mixed in the crowd, as well as the serious difficulties of life caused by the destruction of infrastructure. In the future, Ukraine is likely to be plunged into a constant state of turmoil, and the prospects for security are very unoptimistic. For future control, the Russians focused on the lowest possible collateral damage and as little damage to Ukraine's infrastructure.
Therefore, Ukraine's move, on the surface, is to resist the Russian army, but in fact it is to use its own blood to fight a war that has nothing to do with its own interests, and to solve a war for the West in a self-destructive way. Ukraine will spend decades paying for it.
It also shows that the political ethics of the Ukrainian government are inherently highly broken. The oligarchs' long hijacking of the state has led to the usurpation of national interests by interest groups. Ukraine's national interest is not to join NATO and Russia, a huge neighbor as an enemy, rationally speaking, Ukraine's ideal positioning is to neutral bridges can benefit from Europe and Russia at the same time, and it will have more capital to resist the exploitation of the strong Market in the West, rather than becoming a human trafficking distribution center and "European womb". To some extent, the war didn't have to happen even for Ukraine, but manipulated nationalism and oligarchic hijacking made this worst-case outcome a reality.
At present, the main force of the Russian army is not the best equipped unit except for the special forces, the size of the Russian army that invaded Ukraine is less than 200,000, and from the T-14 to the Su-35, it has not appeared in the front line of confrontation, and even the A-50U early warning aircraft of the Air and Space Force has just been deployed to the front line, indicating that the scale of activities of the Air and Space Force is very limited. Russia is clearly gearing up for a possible NATO intervention, while the Ukrainian army is dealing with old-fashioned but reformed mechanized forces.
However, the resistance of the Ukrainian army was indeed stronger than expected, except for the rapid advance of the Russian army in Kherson Oblast on the southern front, and the progress of the Russian army on the rest of the front was relatively slow. The Russian army is likely to use more troops to fight, and Russia's operation is also very risky, and the slightest carelessness will be abandoned. Russia's decision-making will not necessarily be so smooth.
