Abstract
Images of the million or more persons who have fled toward neighboring States highlight the tragic humanitarian impact of the ongoing armed conflict between Ukraine and Russia. However, a worse fate could await those unable to flee. Despite a slower than expected advance, Russian forces appear to be maneuvering to lay siege to several Ukrainian cities. While reports indicate the port city of Mariupol is already under siege, cut off from critical supplies and support.
