On the map, Donetsk, Luhansk and Kharkiv, combined with the entire Crimea region, form a rather orderly arc of points extending westward from Russia, into Ukraine. It looks to me that the Russian actions in the 3 cities are centrally-coordinated, from Moscow of course. This is a very unfortunate development.
