Ever heard of the Resistance?

It's not about letting the agressor win, it's about fight back without losing your city.

Right know Putin could just bomb the Kyiv to ashes.

No he probably couldn't. He could nuke it, but sending a bunch of planes against a city which has air defense cover is a good way to lose your airforce. He sure can't get artillery near it - because he'd have done it if that armor convoy could move. Instead it's getting bombed by Ukranian war planes.

Resistance fighters lose against an occupier at something like a 10:1 ratio - against the resistance. They lose on average 10 members for every occupation kill. You can prove this to yourself - what did the US lose in Afgahnistan vs the Taliban? For how many years?

You should always try and win the conventional war if you can do win at a better rate then that - which the Ukraine is.

The civilians throwing Molotov cocktails aren't part of the conventional war. The just become legitimate targets

What do you think a resistance is? And how it wins?

Not conventional war.
