The answer remains no even if we require a bijection and a monomorphism (injective homomorphism): Consider the multiplicative group $\mathbb C^\ast$ of complex numbers and $\mathbb R^\ast$ of real numbers respectively. They satisfies the stronger requirement by the usual embedding, but are non-isomorphic as they have a different number of roots of unity.
