    Seems Ukrainian stopped it pretty well without having civilians carrying military weapons outside of military duty.

      Not true at all. Ukraine was handing out AKs like candy to any citizen willing to fight for several days before the invasion.

        Because they were expecting a foreign military invasion, it still is military duty.

          Nope. A civilian fighting in a war does not make them part of the military. It makes them a civilian fighting in a war.
