Ukraine military strategy?

How to best fight the Russians? Throw everything you got against them initially?
Or stockpile assets to wage a post invasion guerrilla war? Would appreciate hearing from our best strategists.

Smaller battles, spread your forces, hit and run, sabotage, hide and attack then hide again, then prep for an insurgency.
