As I understand it they are only handing out weapons to people who are veterans of the Ukrainian armed forces and those civilians who have already taken their “ crash” course in firearms handling. They also called up their reserves males from 18 to 60. The Ukraine has a history of effective partisan resistance in the Second World War. If the Russians go for the cities then these irregular troops can cause myriad problems and casualties. It’ll make it more costly for the Russians.
I’m sure any other old vets here would respond to the call if it was our country in trouble. We may not be 18 or even 40 anymore but we can still shoot etc. and many of us don’t need to go farther than the next room to arm up.
