In this Monday, Aug. 11, 2014 photo Denis Lavrienko, 36, gestures during a conversation in Ukraine's capital, Kiev.

With the government desperate for more fighters and medics, a draft has brought in a wave of needed additions to what had been a neglected army. And amid a surge of patriotic indignation tipping over into martial fervor, volunteer battalions have proven an indispensable boost as well. (AP Photo/Efrem Lukatsky)
