I don’t know how f I should be praying for the people to stand their ground or refugee to somewhere else. But the Ukrainians are up against the odds are then subjecting themselves to wholesale ruin.
If history is any guide, I guess that you should melt away from the cities, and return for a counter-insurgency later. Someone was saying that Ukraine was pretty flat and not very forested, though, which I guess makes it hard to hide out.
