Militias will worry the Russians more than any regular Ukrainian army unit. They know the land, the people, they won’t fight by any rules, and they won’t be accountable to anyone. This is the best and worst thing that could happen.
Recall if you will the long video of weeks past.
A sniper controlled a street. The Ukrainian patriots advanced any way. I think I saw twenty get killed as they moved slowly forward with no weapons at all, only makeshift shields.
Others came to advance and still others to drag the bodies of the fallen back. They prevailed
Now they are armed......
