Goodbye Kiev

After the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster in the Ukraine, somebody forgot to evacuate and abandon nearby Kiev.  Perhaps both East and West agreed that it was just too expensive.  For whatever reasons 25 years have passed and Kiev is now in trouble.  Today nobody will take on its radiation damaged refugees.

So Putin is busy hacking Black Sea access away from the Ukraine, thereby isolating Kiev between a rock and a hard place.  Will Kiev finally be blasted off the face of the earth?  A nuclear solution to an earlier nuclear disaster?  Which side will take the credit/blame??
