When Russia annexed Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula in 2014 and threw its support behind separatists in the country's east, Kyiv's underfunded and disorganized armed forces struggled to respond. Now, amid fears that a Russian troop buildup near Ukraine's border could signal a possible attack, military experts say there would be stronger resistance but that Ukraine would be well short of what it needs to counter Russia's overwhelming land, sea and air superiority.
