thing the russians know about, i you be making? well, if there is one thing the russians know about, it i you be making? well, if there is one thing the russians know about, it is| thing the russians know about, it is urban conflict. a note from both sides of the equation. they know how tough it is, how it is to the advantage for a defender to be inside the city, and they have had a lot of experience with fighting inside of cities, and it has been bloody, it has been tough. not simply in chechnya but in places such like stalingrad, they have a long history of this kind of operation. what i tell ukrainians? i would tell them first and foremost to get their families out of there. there is no way that if the russians come into that city they are going to spare anybody. women and children included. then i would suggest they do with the way that so many victors in defensive battles inside of cities have done, which is digging, dig tunnels between positions, use the buildings to your advantage, try to channelised the fighters as much as possible, ijust don't give up,
