In the recent RW conflict unfolding in Ukraine, we've seen widespread resistance to Russian advances in the satellite towns and villages around Kiev, some involving hastily armed civilians using small arms, Molotovs, and various ATWs (I've seen a couple of pics of civilians wielding NLAWs). MSRs aren't anywhere close to secure, with Ukrainian SOF launching hit-and-run attacks against supply convoys and even armored columns.

Clearly, this has frustrated Russian forces, leading to the indiscriminate use of artillery against population centers and targeted atrocities against civilians like we've seen at Bucha.

Would we see similar resistance carried out by hastily-armed Polish civilians (supported by a smattering of regular Polish troops, ORMO, and ZOMO) to NATO advances in the v1 and v2 timelines, and/or against Soviet troops in the 4e timeline, or is this an apples to oranges comparison?

The one thing I don't see in a T2k scenario (any timeline) is the widespread distribution of fire-and-forget ATGM systems. "Wireless" ATGMs were just coming on line in NATO armies, c.1996.
