A hard fight against the Russian advance made possible by armed citizens….. now imagine if they had our levels of gun ownership……this is why you never give up your guns……..guns = freedom

The Battle of Vosnesensk may not end up in a lot of history books (well, at least those written outside of Ukraine), but the fight over the southern Ukrainian city of about 30,000 people is something that Second Amendment supporters should be aware of.
The BBC calls the fight to control the city “one of the most decisive battles of the war so far,” and armed citizens played a big role in keeping the city and a strategically important bridge out of Russian hands.

It was a colossal effort by the whole town,” said Alexander, a local shopkeeper who filmed himself on the frontlines with an AK47, screaming “Come on my little beauties!” as another volunteer fired a rocket-propelled grenade towards Russian positions.
“We used hunting rifles, people threw bricks and jars. Old women loaded heavy sandbags.
“The Russians didn’t know where to look or where the next attack would come from. I’ve never seen the community come together like that,” he said, standing by the twisted wreckage of the bridge, which Ukrainian forces destroyed within hours of the first Russian attack.
