This Ukrainian war to everyone the most surprised is that the Ukrainian army combat effectiveness is very strong, originally everyone thought that Ukraine's military strength is very weak, in the face of the powerful Russian army, it can also persist for two or three days, it will be fully surrendered, did not expect to be able to persist for so long, you know, Ukraine really began to develop its own army from 8 years ago, before the Ukrainian government are pro-Russian, relying on Russia to provide protection, they almost have almost no own army. It wasn't until eight years ago, when Ukraine's pro-Western president came to power, that he began to develop his own army, so why is the army built up in just eight years so combat effective? I think the reasons are nothing more than the following.
First, Ukrainian President Zelinsky's will to fight is firm
The Ukrainian president has stayed in Kiev so far and only fights, and the others are very talented in speeches, constantly sending videos of speeches to the people, encouraging the people to resist, and constantly asking the world for assistance, it is because of the president's strong will that the army and the people continue to resist. If Zelinsky had fled abroad at the first moment, many people in Ukraine would have followed suit, and Ukraine is likely to have lasted less than three days.
Second, the Ukrainian people have a strong will to resist
The Ukrainian army and the people have indeed a strong will to resist this time, without any fear, especially the city of Mariupol, although it is surrounded and attacked by the Russian army many times, still insists on resisting, indicating that the will to resist is very firm.
The third is a large amount of western assistance
The gap between Ukraine and Russia's military strength is huge, even if the will to resist is strong, it is still difficult to resist the Russian army, and Western assistance has played a great role, especially the large amount of funds and weapons provided, which has played a very large role in Ukraine's defense.
