Ukraine

Many are now wondering, how long can the Ukrainian army withstand the Russian invasion? One who knows the Ukrainian army, its commanders and soldiers, more than anyone else, is the Swedish major Roger Djupsjö at the Swedish Armed Forces. For almost a year he trained the Ukrainian security forces on the ground in the country and many of those he met became his friends for life.

- The Morale and will of the Ukraining forces are exceptional. 
- Russian forces doesn't have the will, and that makes them wary in battle situations
- The American Javelins and the Swedish/british Robot-57/NLAW anti-tank weapons are great against Russians armed vehicles
- Different tactic in the west and Russia - in the west units are given more responsibility themselves to solve obstacles, in Russia they are given orders from the top. Which is a less flexible tactic.
- Military aid must be given. For the Ukrainian people there is not an option to go back to an authorial state.
- Surprised and not surprised at the same time at how things stand - Ukraina doesn't have the military size to withstand Russia. But at the same time the Ukrainian Generals are educated with the Soviet system and therefore can act with that knowledge. Also, going in with forces as quick as Russia did has cost them. It was a tactical blunder.
- We can become comfortable with our democracy, take it for granted - Ukraine is dying for democracy
