Will Kyiv become the new Sarajevo?

Despite the heavy Serbian guns, high ground and advantages in war materiel, Sarajevo never fell during the Bosnian War. Yes, the odds are hard against them, but the Ukrainians do have some heavy weapons and there is NO doubt in my mind that shipments are being made to them clandestinely across the Romanian and Polish borders. Thoughts?
