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.

1. Hope it doesn't come to it, but it's tough to occupy a country long-term

that vehemently is opposed to occupation. Question is if that is how Ukrainians feel?

2. Fight up front

With a defense in depth.

Trying to save for a guerrilla war risks losing the stockpile to an invading force.

3. Avoid large engagements

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