Encirclement by what? Countries that don't like to suck off Russia anymore?

Maybe Russia should act less like an authoritarian mafia state and then its neighbours wouln't turn away from it. Food for thought

Mind palace history. Ukraine turned away from Russia when the west sponsored a coup against the legitimately elected government and the regime they were replaced with was pro-west.
