If current doomsday predictions suddenly came true and Moscow attacked Ukraine like it did tiny Georgia, Kyiv would fare a bit better, but almost surely face the same dismal outcome, experts say.While Ukraine’s army is more than five times larger in terms of troops than Georgia’s, it is still is no match for Russia’s military. In comparison, Ukraine’s seven functioning naval vessels are dwarfed by the Russian Black Sea Fleet’s 46 fully­armed navy ships strategically based in Ukraine’s Sevastopol port, which is leased to Russia through 2017.

Moreover, Ukraine’s arsenal is nowhere near ready to respond effectively.
