The ones in the picture are likely a mix of 5.56 and 7.62 firearms. Both Ukraine would have in abundance
Real issue is actually going to be a (lack of) full auto. Sincerely doubt anything in these pics is an MG. Even if Ukraine fabricates automatic components (drop-in-auto-sears do exist for ARs), the barrels aren't going to hold up to automatic fire well.
They might be useful in a police/border guard/militia capacity, though?
101st Airborne has been issued new M4A1's since 2012, and the Army has been converting M4s to M4A1s since 2014.
