Zelensky is being very reckless. Look at this note from the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine asking the population to make Molotov cocktails to destroy Russian military equipment.

And how many citizens of Ukraine will burn themselves, their apartments and the apartments of their neighbors in the manufacture of a fuel mixture? Not to mention that in modern conditions it's not effective, but more like an elegant way of suicide.

Its a war. Because Putin is using a gentle hand on Ukraine it doesnt mean that Ukrainian are required to do the same.

Making Molotov cocktails and throwing them to Russian equipment is a solid, battle-tested military tactic

Molotov manufacturing includes a liquid mixture that is flammable and dangerous to be transported, such as petroleum, gasoline, sulfuric acid, potassium chlorate, alcohol and ethyl ether, mixed inside a glass bottle, and cloth soaked in the same fuel in the mixture of a wick. This is very dangerous to manufacture in a residential complex, this is a gigantic imprudence.

It is useless against modern AFVs and tanks with NBC protection. Which is all of them.
At best you might burn light skinned vehicles. But a machine gun can also damage one.

you do know what total war mean right? for them its winning or death. imagine your country getting invaded and they invader want to actively take down a government that was democratically elected. if you are in that position it doesn't matter if u support the president or not. part of your freedom is being taken away. if u understand this then all this make sense
