The Invasion is being seen as an act of aggression against Ukraine by the International communities worldwide.
In the David VS Goliath scenario being played out in Europe, Ukrainian Ground forces have come across bravely in the past 6 weeks.

Resistance forces have stalled the column on numerous occasions since the beginning of the invasion.
Russian President Vladimir Putin had expressed the aim of the invasion as to “de-nazify” and “demilitarize” the neighboring country of Ukraine but has failed to put a swift end to the invasion.
The Kremlin now feels that it needs to step up its efforts to end what it started in the first place.
Due to the Ukrainian Military’s relentless assistance, Ground Forces have put up stiff resistance against advancing Russian Armored forces and aircrafts.
As of Monday, Russia has intensified its attacks on eastern Ukraine. It might be high time that the Ukrainian Forces brace themselves for another wave of Russian Assault.
On Monday Russian President Vladimir Putin is scheduled to meet – the Austrian chancellor Karl Nehammer in Moscow for his first to face meeting with a representative of the European Union since the beginning of the Invasion.
In a statement, Mr. Nehammer said “we are militarily neutral, but (have) a clear position on the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine”.
The loss of lives and property is of surmountable levels. Russian and Ukrainian history has intertwined for many decades now, originating from a common ancestry Ukraine and Russia are more like brothers than adversaries.
The casualties faced by both sides have been high and might reach even higher levels as Russia strengthens its stand on the invasion of Ukraine.
But it is for certain that Russia is not opting for a compromise as the reports of a new assault on the eastern Ukrainian cities are coming to light.
The next three to four weeks may be crucial for the war’s outcome as Russia engages Ukraine again with renewed zeal to conquer Kyiv to finish the war and complete their agenda.
