“We often like to talk about amateurs study tactics and professionals study logistics, and we see that play out right before our eyes,” Army Chief of Staff Gen. James McConville said Tuesday.

“If you’re going to put an army on the move, if you’re going to conduct combat operations, if you don’t have logistics, if you don’t have gas, if you don’t have parts, if you don’t have all the ammunition, then those weapon systems become paperweights. They just sit on the side of the road and you can’t fight [with] them.”…

If one were to run a virtual wargame knowing how Russian forces were postured and understanding their capabilities, the computer model would have said Russia would be victorious in a matter of 72 to 96 hours, Berger said.

But those models don’t — and can’t — account for the Ukrainian people’s will to fight on behalf of their homeland, he said.

Whether it’s stories of the legendary (and likely fictitious) Ghost of Kyiv shooting down Russian fighter jets above the skies of Ukraine or the real footage of Ukrainian citizens making Molotov cocktails and distributing weaponry, Ukraine is winning the information war against Russia by showcasing the resolve of its people and contrasting it with the Russian military’s blunders.
