They fight as they can and often bravely. You should know that there was no military tradition and institutions created in the short 25 years of independence and (fortunately!) no experience. What about Russia? First Chechen war, massive corruption in armed services after dissolution of USSR? Even the Georgian war was botched in some respects (air force action, communication systems). And besides, the war will end some day. But hatred which many Ukrainians feel toward Russians would remain for very long time (look at Poland and Baltic countries). What would the result of this war look like? What was/is the point?LevTolnoreply@blogger.com
