It's such a huge realm of technologies, capabilities, and effects that they are dealing with and exploiting. What skills would you focus on to combat Russian forces, and what methods would you use to the greatest affect (either from the perspective of Ukrainian military or third party)?

There's a high probability that anything written to vilify Russia in US and UK media is an outright lie. Someone on the western side of the Berlin Wall misses the Cold War times and wants those "good ol' times" back.

There's also a high probability that anything written that vilifies Russia has truth in it as well... not getting into the propaganda game, but there is a very different journalistic standard between the US and Russia news.
