Ukraine is working to modernize its military before 2011 and even up gradations were done
In 2011 Ukraine’s state-owned defence industry conglomerate Ukroboronprom and France’s Sagem have signed an agreement to renew cooperation on modernization of Mi-24 attack helicopter for the Ukrainian Army.
The Mykolayiv Mechanical-Repair Plant delivered five APCs to Ukraine’s Armed Forces in October 2011 and plans to produce 170 APCs of various sorts for the Ukrainian Armed Forces by 2017.
Ukraine’s Ground Forces will be equipped with new air defense systems by 2025, the Poltava surface-to-air missile system, the Bars man-portable air-defense systems, the modernized Osa-AKMsurface-to-air missile system, and the Colibri man-portable air-defense systems.

And how long do you think those can last against Su-35S bombardment? Even S-300 would be obliterated. Su-35S are 2010s military hardware. Ukraine only has 1980s military hardware.

We are here talking about modernization of Ukrainian military. Ukraine do have military industry infrastructure because of which it can change fast. Even NATO technology it will get and some joint ventures will be started with Poland.

No plane. No helicopter. No ship. No sub. No tank. No missile. Even has to buy from Norway, a country of 4 million.

U.S. calls on Moscow to release jailed Ukrainian pilot| Reuters
Fri Jan 9, 2015
(Reuters) - The United States on Friday called on Moscow to immediately release a jailed Ukrainian military pilot who has been moved to solitary confinement.
State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said there were concerns about the health of the pilot, who is on a hunger strike.
"We're deeply concerned by reports that Russia has moved Ukrainian pilot Nadia Savchenko to solitary confinement," Psaki told a daily briefing. "We understand that Ms Savchenko has been on hunger strike for nearly a month to protest the terms of her detention and is suffering additional health problems.
"We call for her immediate release, as well as other Ukrainian hostages held by Russia," Psaki added.
Savchenko, 33, was captured by separatists in eastern Ukraine last June and sent to Russia where she had been held in a psychiatric clinic. Ukraine has said she is one of hundreds of prisoners being held by the pro-Russian separatists.
If Separatists have captured her in Eastern Ukraine , Why she was transferred to Moscow ?

KYIV, January 10 /Ukrinform/. Two Ukrainian servicemen have been killed and another 20 have been wounded in the area of the anti-terrorist operation in Donbas in the past 24 hours, spokesman for the anti-terrorist operation in eastern Ukraine Andriy Lysenko has said.
"Two Ukrainian servicemen have been killed and another twenty have been wounded in the past 24 hours," he told at a briefing on Saturday.
Lysenko said that two deceased military were soldiers of the Ukrainian National Guard whose battalion was ambushed near the settlement of Stanytsia Luhanska.
"The National Guard's battalion was engaged in a fight near the bridge across the Siversky Donets river. There was an ambush there and two soldiers of the National Guard were killed and 14 were wounded in the fight. Our military managed to repel the attack and get out of this combat," he said.

Fighting in east Ukraine doesn't stop despite 'ceasefire' and holiday period - watch on - uatoday.tv
Jan. 10, 2015
On the front line in east, Ukrainian soldiers say that even over the holiday period, attacks from Russian-backed insurgents have not let up.
Nor have temperatures, as low as -20 degrees celsius, stopped the fighting. Near the city of Luhansk in recent days, the insurgents seized territory near the Ukrainian army's positions.
Local resident: "Yesterdy at 3pm I went out to the shop and begged Lord to let me get home alive. Some shooting started but it finished quickly. I couldn't even understand where they were fire from."
Last month Ukraine declared a "day of silence" in an effort to re-establish a ceasefire. But soldiers say the attacks by insurgents have picked up again and are especially frequent after Russia sends convoys of trucks to east Ukraine which it claims contain humanitarian aid.
Canadian ship carrying non-lethal Ukrainian military supplies arrives in port city of Odesa - watch on - uatoday.tv
Jan. 10, 2015
A Canadian ship carrying humanitarian aid and supplies for Ukrainian soldiers has docked in the port city of Odesa. The cargo vessel arrived on Saturday morning, carrying items including winter clothing and footwear for the military
It's the latest of a series of non-lethal aid Canada has shipped to Ukraine for soldiers fighting Russian-backed militants in the country's two easternmost regions. More humanitarian relief is expected next week.
Canada has become one of Ukraine's staunchest partners since the Kremlin annexed Ukraine's Crimea region in March. Last November, Canada donated a planeload of the military gear including communication systems, medical kits, night vision goggles and military clothing, as part of an aid package worth several million dollars.
