I completely agree. They have had material help to be sure but they are the ones who have actually fought the war and they would not be resisting the Russian bear for so long if they were being forced to fight like some claim. The average Ukrainian has a strong sense of national identity and he is willing to fight and die to preserve what he considers to be his homeland. You have to admire that.
