Although the Ukrainian army was improved over the years, they still hardly support Russian military power if the conflict broke out.

Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky on April 20 announced that the country was "ready for war" with Russia and would "beat to the last person" if the conflict broke out between the two border gates.

Kristina Kvien, American Ambassador rights in Ukraine, said that President Zelensky has a basis to make such fierce statements, because Ukraine now has a much improved military potential compared to 2014, time

According to Ms. Kvien, in the past 7 years, the Ukrainian army has strengthened capacity and professionalism to better respond to external threats, becoming one of the most powerful combat forces in Europe

Some Western observers agreed that the Ukrainian troops were now equipped and trained for large-scale conflicts better than at the beginning of the war in Donbas in 2014.

Now, Ukraine's military capacity is concerned, when Russia strengthens the force at the Crimea Peninsula and near the border of the country, and conducting large-scale exercises on the Black Sea.

"The Russian army has a large scale of Ukraine. However, everything will not be as easy as in 2014, when Russian task force and local militaries have controlled Crimea and most of the border between the two

The reason is that the Ukrainian army has 7 years of fighting experience in the Donbas region in the East, with nearly 10,000 soldiers losses during this period.

"Ukraine lost a lot of people in the battle in Donbas and learned a lot of experience during that time," said an unnamed NATO military intelligence officer with comments and praised the courage and patriotism of

This intelligence officer suggests that the Ukrainian army in 2014 is a "independent organization", while soldiers are poorly trained and badly equipped, with many soldiers having to shop to store bullets and wear shoes

"However, the Ukrainian military now has improved a lot on every aspect compared to 2014, no more like that," he said.

Ukraine shows about $ 5 billion a year for the military, almost doubling compared to the previous level before 2014, not only strengthening the disciplinary discipline for soldiers but also built dozens of new brigades.

The country is also developing the Neptune advanced anti-ship rocket system, mainly to enhance black coastal defense.

However, despite the significant progress of the Ukrainian army, the National Interest commentator Mark Episkopos indicated that the Russian army over the years was also much developed with the budget of more than 65 billion USD per year

Russia's military potentials include modern air force and naval weapons, supernatural cruise missiles can hit the target from the safe distance, which Ukraine cannot afford to support.

"Although trying to come, Ukraine still cannot manage the advantage of Russia on electronic combat, cruise missiles and air force power. So, if the two parties fight, they can cause a peace

Russia can easily target important infrastructure and matter deep inside Ukraine's route at the beginning of the war.

"However, if NATO intervenes and disables Russia's systems, the situation can become extremely persistent and disadvantaged on both sides," said former soldiers.

The conflict between Russia and Ukraine is said to be very unlikely, because Moscow's recent military moves are primarily to convey political messages to "stretch" US President Joe Biden administration.

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu on April 22 stated that MOSKVA achieved exercise goals near Ukraine and began withdrawing troops from April 23, to return to "Permanent Bases" before May 1.
