Not the most scientific of diagrams, but it is what it is. Kiev is surrounded, and we all know what comes next. Civilians will be fine, this will not be like Donbass where a military sit outside the city and shell in to civilian areas, and in Donbass there’s been 8 years of that. But, those armed, with arms, who do not comply, well, that is their choice. Ukraine had a million opportunities to stop things getting to this stage – let the Donbass republics and Crimea go, and Ukraine could have got on with building their own future. But, it wouldn’t do that, the extremists and neo-Nazis wouldn’t let it do that, they couldn’t stop shelling Donbass, killing civilians in Donbass. And it had to stop, and this was the only way to do that.
