Brave but begs the question why weren’t explosives at least placed last week? In war oversights are paid for in blood. Imagine for patriotic Ukrainians, unlike globalist Democrats, sabotaging your own infrastructure is a difficult emotional task.

“why weren’t explosives at least placed last week?”

I thought the same thing on viewing a Russian armored column crossing an lengthy, hi-rise bridge yesterday.

Because they didn’t have you there, telling Zelensky and his military commanders what to do. That’s why.

Same regarding handing out small arms at the last moment without significant training, organization or clear purpose. Just going to likely get a lot of civilians killed.

Same reason they didn’t mobilize until yesterday?

That was my first thought. Who was in charge of preparations? It seems a no-brainer to prepare to slow any Russian advance.

I really don’t know how competent the Ukraine’s military is. But if the civilian govt is as corrupt and incompetent as it appears to be I wouldn’t expect the military to be all that competent either. Corrupt govts pick “politically reliable” (corrupt) people to run their militaries.
