It now appears that there are very big divisions within Ukraine, and the military operations of the Russian army have been going on for more than a dozen days. Except for the relatively high-intensity strikes against the Ukrainian navy and air force at the beginning, there has been no large-scale land fighting between the Ukrainian army and the Ukrainian army. At the same time, about 40% of Ukraine's territory is already under the control of the Russian army, and it should be noted that Ukraine is a large country with a land area of 600,000 square kilometers and a population of more than 40 million, with a length of 1,200 kilometers from east to west, and the speed of Russian troops is not fast.
Under normal circumstances, even the main Ukrainian forces in the east have enough time to intercept and fight with the Russians in the middle of the road, or at least to gather heavy troops in strategic places to confront the Russian army.
It is not that the Ukrainian president does not want to resist, as early as the outbreak of the conflict, the Ukrainian president has called on young men to take up arms, while restricting young men from traveling abroad as refugees, so although more than 1 million refugees have recently left Ukraine, most of them are old and weak women and children.
Since the Ukrainian president had planned to engage in a general war with Russia from the beginning, a large-scale army duel had not taken place today, let alone recruited millions of people to enrich the army, so it can be seen that the president's words have not played any role.
It is likely that the Ukrainian military did not intend to engage in large-scale combat with the Russian army, so after the outbreak of the conflict, the entire ukrainian army system was not linked, and the main opponent facing the Russian army was likely to be a relatively independent resistance force formed by a small number of troops such as Azov battalions.
These forces have support from Western countries, many of whom belong to the pro-Western faction, so they are very tenacious in confronting the Russian army.
For the Russian military, these troops are also the targets of their attack, just as Putin pointed out in his response to why the use of force against Ukraine two days ago, which will strike at those anti-Russian forces.
Since there has been no major war between the main forces of the Russian army and the Ukrainian army so far, the possibility of a major war in the future is also very low, and the Russian army's combat in Ukraine will continue to be dominated by small security wars.
