I would like to restart this text by emphasizing that the Ukrainian army is a formidable force. Reaching so far and with so little is worthy of great men. Unlike what propaganda says, the Ukrainian army has held positions for months, despite the challenges, and they still stand where they can.

One of the major problems created in this war has been the conflict of doctrines. This was both the strength and the weakness of the Ukrainians. The strength lies in sharing basically the same doctrine as the Russians, while the weakness stems from NATO's interference in this process without adequate transition time, what is tolerable, especially since the country is being invaded.

A serious doctrinal conflict has emerged within the Ukrainian army, which can be seen in various instances during this war, some openly conflicting with NATO advisors and Ukrainian generals. This has undoubtedly been a weak point in the Allies' guidelines for this war. How do you tell a high-ranking Ukrainian officer that everything he has learned so far is worthless and that the approach has now changed? Doing so undermines all the advantages that individual has, thrusting him into a new and unfamiliar terrain.

Transitioning military doctrines is a slow and careful process, but this hasn't been the case.

In recent weeks, I’ve seen images of Russian soldiers using animals and motorcycles to reinforce front lines. Photos circulated, generating laughs and criticism. Well, the result is clear.

The Soviet doctrine, which Russians and Ukrainians inherited, emphasizes that logistics must adapt to the terrain and open lines for infiltration units. In other words, it doesn’t have to be aesthetically pleasing or modern; it must be functional and effective.

This is a lesson that the West needs to learn, and the Ukrainians need to understand what to adopt from both doctrines, forgetting appearances, which the West tends to prioritize, and instead focus on functionality and effectiveness.

To this day, the West has not understood how the Russians fight their wars. They used to mock when Russians adapted RBU launchers onto MTLB vehicles, and the Russians responded by quickly deploying more frankstein vehicles on the battlefield.

They need to learn that If the Russians have carriages, they send them; if they have motorhomes they can arm, they dispatch those; if they have Ladas with scratched paint, they send those too; if they have men on horseback, they send those as well. That’s how the Russians fight: with saturation tactics without losing the capacity for innovation.

The excessive regulation and concern for a modern image are making multiple Western forces less effective. War is where all means must be used.
