The usual one applied considering the situation. Desperte.
I was watching some combat footage made outside Kiev some week ago.
It was supposed to pretend how stealthy&deadly they are.
What they presented in reality, was a bunch of desperate men, armed with some remains&mix of everything, clearly representing the miserable shape of logistics.
The only they could do was hide in the woods, hoping some Moskali will by accident appear close enough to shoot at him. Using the past RPG18, or Pzf3, or AT4, or anything that they have left ... Their eyes were filled with fear already.
What is really sad, is watching that with historical perspective&experience of my country ...
The last organized unit of the Polish Army was active till JUNE 1940, when they finally laid down the weapon, two months after the death of the unit commander, colonel Dobrzanski.
Still, already at the end of 1939, they represented a zero combat value, being just a hunted herd of men ... Watching those Ukrainian soldiers, I saw a Hubal unit late Autumn 1939, as they were presented ...
Poland created the biggest regular underground army known to men, reaching a peak of 390 thousand people. Organized and subordinated to the formal government in exile.
Home Army was assisted by thousands of insurgents, other organized armed resistance units of the communist party, peasants etc, so we can consider that in a peak, there could be close to half a million people involved.
All they were able to do, with all the bravery, confession, and spirit, was kill some 16500 german soldiers for a whole 5.5 years of occupation... The casualty ratio was about 1:10, excluding the civilian population that paid the price either.
No sane man can feel the pleasure of others' misery.
