    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.
