Kyiv being so close to the Belarus border is a poor strategic position to be in for a war against Russia. Ukrainian government may last longer if it can spin up conscripts fast enough and are willing to be fluid + fall back to positions other than the capital. Most Ukrainian men already have basic military training from their mandatory military service program, so that is a plus there.
Question is whether the arms Ukraine needed weeks ago actually make it to them on time like you say. Putin duped the naive west countries good into thinking diplomatic solutions were possible when they clearly are not. Now the arms and funding aid Ukraine needed badly are delayed. Those arms packages promised yesterday probably won't start getting to Ukraine for another week at best. At that point, where are safe transfer points?
