You really have no idea how effective some local guys with rifles are against an invading army. Especially against Russia, which also operates with a draft with a ton of young men with questionable morale and experience. If any man in Ukraine does not want to fight they can quite literally just walk to occupied territory, it can be easily found to the North, South, and East. Even in Ukrainian propaganda and news reports you can see male civilians hiding in underground bunkers with women and children, I doubt they have enough arms to draft every male in that age even if they wanted to for the foreseeable future.

I think those local guy's bravado will evaporate when their positions start getting ripped apart by the 30mm cannon that is mounted on the Russian APC's. They have no armour of their own, no command and control to provide air support or any kind of backup for that matter and I'd bet most of them have never even handled a rifle before never mind had time to learn how to use it accurately.
