- When the Soviet Union collapsed in the 1990s Ukraine was one of the largest new nations to emerge. It held its first elections in 1991.
Bordered by Russia on the east and by Hungary, Poland and Slovakia on the west, politics in Ukraine have always been divided along those looking east towards Russia and those looking to the West.
Putin has said that Ukraine is “ancient Russian soil” but the majority of Ukrainians don’t feel this way, with 68% of Ukrainians in favour of joining the EU.

When history starts in 1991, you know these reporters are flawed.
when a big country disintegrate rhere would be a lot of war ww1 actually is cause by the disintegrate of ottoman empire . we are very lucky disintegrate of the soviet union produced not many war.

While the modern Ukrainian state appeared in 1991 dropping all the history before that seems misleading. It's the same as to consider that Germany started in 1989.
British media is all about misleading, and the sad things is British people believe everything they see on Facebook and everything they hear from bbc. Lol
Sure there was the Ukrainian People Republic proclaimed in 1918 that was brutally conquered by the russian bolsheviks army in 1922. The Ukrainian People Republic was 1,6 times bigger than modern Ukraine.
@@galiapink6600 In 1917, the Ukrainian People's Republic with its capital in Kiev was formed on the territory of modern Ukraine, and in 1918 the Donetsk-Krivoy Rog Republic with its capital in Kharkov as part of Russia and the Odessa Republic with its capital in Odessa also as part of Russia were formed. The southeastern regions of modern Ukraine in the Russian Empire were called Novorossiya (New Russia) and Little Russia (Little Russia). Deputies of the Central Rada of the UPR secretly called Austro-Hungarian troops to their territory in Brest in April 1918, who entered the UPR and then occupied the Donetsk-Krivoy Rog and Odessa republics of Russia.
In 1918, from January 12, 1918 to May 20, 1922, the countries of the Entente and the Central Powers (the Quadruple Alliance) carried out military intervention in the Russian Civil War (1917-1922/23) on the side of the White Movement. In total, 14 states and their colonies took part in the intervention.
Great Britain - Murmansk, Arkhangelsk, the Baltic Sea, Revel, Narva, Sevastopol, Novorossiysk, Yekaterinograd, Tsaritsyn, Novorossiysk, the Black and Caspian Seas, Baku, Batumi, then Krasnovodsk, Petrovsk, Shusha, Julfa, Erivan, Kars and Gagry, Vladivostok, as well as the British colonies: Australia - Arkhangelsk, Murmansk. Canada - Arkhangelsk, Murmansk, Siberia, India - Transcaucasia. USA - Arkhangelsk, Murmansk, Siberia (Transsib in the sections from Mysovsk to Verkhneudinsk and from Iman to Vladivostok. France - Arkhangelsk, Odessa, Kherson, Sevastopol, Siberia (Siberian colonial infantry battalion and Siberian battery of colonial artillery), as well as colonial French troops in Odessa - 4th African Cavalry Regiment, regiment of native riflemen, regiment of Algerian riflemen, battalion of Algerian riflemen, Indochina battalion; in Sevastopol - battalion of Senegalese riflemen. Italy - Murmansk, Siberia and the Far East (Irkutsk, Krasnoyarsk). Greece - Odessa. Romania - occupation of Bessarabia. Poland - Murmansk, (the Soviet-Polish war of 1919-1920, the Polish army, the underground "Polish military organization"). Japan - Vladivostok, the section of the Trans-Siberian railway from Verkhneudinsk to Khabarovsk and Iman, Sakhalin, Blagoveshchensk-on-Amur. China did not actively participate in the intervention, the Far East, Transbaikalia, Arkhangelsk and Murmansk. As well as the Serbian battalion, the Finnish Karelian Legion (Karelian Regiment) and the Finnish Murmansk Legion and the Danish Volunteer battalion.
After the defeat of the troops of Denikin, Wrangel, Krasnov, Yudenich and Kolchak, they were all expelled from the territory of Russia in 1920-1921. In 1922, with the formation of the Soviet Union, the Ukrainian People's Republic, Donetsk-Krivoy Rog and Odessa Republics were united into the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic with its capital in Kiev.
From 1654 to 1917, Russian territories were ceded to Ukraine - Volyn, Rivne, Zhytomyr, Chernihiv, Sumy, Ternopil, Kiev, Poltava, Khmelnitsky, Cherkasy and Poltava regions. In 1922, with the formation of the USSR, the Kharkiv, Lugansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhia, Kherson, Odessa and Mykolaiv regions moved to Ukraine. In 1939, according to the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, upon the return of Russian territories and after the victory over Nazi Germany in 1945, the Lviv, Transcarpathian, Ivano-Frankivsk and Chernihiv regions retreated to Ukraine.

Interestingly, didn’t Hitler say that Austrians and Germans were one people and that they used to all be a part of a single unit historically just before he annexed Austria in 1938? If my history classes serve me right, back then, the world also condemned the actions and watched the events unfold. We never learn from the past.
By the time then, that was correct. The Republic of Austria was a souvereign state, yet its people were considered (and considered themselves) a German people.
Austria proper had been a German state eversince. A sentiment of being an Austrian, rather than a German nation, only really developed after World War II, not before it.
Great comparison!!!
It seems like Poland is the line in the sand again!

@@hafizhdan4115 1. Hitler IS dead
2. he was born in Austrian (Austro-Hungarian, that is) citizenship yet took up German later

Why reporter is saying Ukrainian nation emerged from the Soviet Union, when Kiev the capital was established more than 1000 years ago, Ukrainian nation has long history!
Exactly. Reporter even said that after Soviet Union colapsed "new" nations emerged... New nations? Ukraine, Georgia, Lithuania, Estonia and others are not "new nations" , they were long time before 1991. And this bullshit is from BBC? Shame..
The real history have only ukrainians , russia just had stolen it

Try to find what is "Alley of angels" in Donetsk. You was silent about it for 8 years. Have BBC or any other news visited or even speak about it?
My 6th grade teacher in 1965 was Ukrainian. She hated the Soviet Union: much of her family perished in the Holodomor. She strongly claimed that Ukraine is not Russia. She could definitely beat-up Putin.
Your teacher told you only half of story and defunitely comfortabke part fir her🙂
USSR was union of 15 tepublics. Many komunist comanders was ukrainians. The same process had place in Russia also during Civil war. Reach people and thrivind farmer wad also pushed to give their wealth. It was hard time ans Russians suffered not less than ukrainians. And those, who did this was not only from Russia but from all republics of USSR, which were territoties of Russian empire before revolution. So plenty red ukrainian comanders rob armers and wealthy people on Russia territoty. I HATE YOU HALF TRUTH - IT'S BECOME LIE .....
@@artgutz5295 I do not disagree with you. On the left-hand side of the ledger are a few thousand Communists commanders who implement Stalin's plan and on the right-hand side are the 5 to 10 million Ukrainians, mostly farmers, who starved to death despite living in Europe's bread basket. On a positive note, Stalin sold the grain to buy factories to produce military hardware.
@@artgutz5295 Many leaders of the USSR were Ukrainians. Brezhnev, Gorbachev - were born in Ukraine. I served in the army in 2003-2005 on the Kola Peninsula. I had 80% of the command staff there were Ukrainians. They were based in Crimea at the collapse of the USSR, refused to take the Ukrainian oath and were sent to the North of Russia. Can you imagine what it's like to exchange the warm Black Sea for the Barents Sea and live in a military closed garrison? They went for it. Therefore, Ukrainians are divided into 2 categories. Those who live abroad and remember the Holodomor and those who consider Russia their own.
Russia was a gail for a millions of people, my grandma with granddad was meeting not in Ukraine but in Siberia when they was 15 years old , so you can just imagine how much we hate russians for all their criminal
@@masterizvladimira Gorbachev - Stovropolskiy Krai(currently Russian Federation). I agree ruski dog, give back Stovropolskiy Krai, its Ukraine))) Google translated from ruzzian: "In his memoirs, Brezhnev wrote that he was born into a working-class family, a native “from the Kursk province, from the village of Brezhnevo, Streletsky district,” and was of Russian origin: “Thus, by nationality I am Russian, by origin I am a native proletarian, a hereditary metallurgist.” What else you wanna say uneducatated victim of propaganda ruski slave?
I'm from Ukraine and just came here to say, that our people are disappointed in NATO , Biden and whole Europe. They were talking so loud about this war and that Russia will pay for this, but reality is opposite: my relatives are suffering from rockets(based on their words on phone call) and whole words actually aren't doing anything specifically to solve this problem. Just some sanctions against Russia which doesn't affect them at all. The president was right about this line : "how you'll defend yourself if your help to Ukraine is so slow?(words which refer to other countries of Europe and US.) I also apologize for probable mistakes in my English as it's 4th language I know. I must clarify one thing : I don't hate any person of Europe or US, I'm just talking about the leaders of these countries and Europe parliament. Thanks for your attention!
Learn from Afghanistan on how to evade total disruption
Never fight, instead help Russian Military to caught all American and European popet politions, and maintain Russian Ukraine peaceful relationship, forget Evil western hypnosis
The NATO is the biggest lie in country relations. American political acts are made for only their profit. Honestly I have to say that the Americans and the whole NATO filled your heads with air. They don't care about people. The NATO alliance is a buble. And as soon as Ukraine is not yet in NATO, it would be the best for your country to never enter NATO. I have heard that there is corrapsy in your country, and that every politic is speaking about the benefits of entering the EU and the NATO. Also, I read that indeed as Putin said, there is dictatoral act if somebody tries to say the opposite, for example that the EU is not as it is presented to us. There is a plan to get your country under their control with the same prophacy, that you will have growth and a better economy. As also a modern Ukrainian saint said some years ago (Starets Jonas) "the West people will make the Ukrainians believe them. They will inflate Ukranians' minds. That also will be our end. Russia will raze us".
Honestly, how did you think that you can get against Russia? You are the same people! Don't refuse that. Let it happen peacefully otherwise in NATO you wouldn't find true peace. Be sure that Putin is not your real enemy. The Americans dividied all the slavian people (and in Yugoslavia, and in Eastern Europe). ΝΑΤΟ is also the reason why Cyprus is dividied from Greece. The Americans never helped Cyprus during the Turkish invasion on Cyprus. They DON'T care. It's for your best I believe for you, to be united with Russians and have peace because you deserve it. Be strong and have your mind clear my dear.

I’m also Ukrainian and I was for EU.But after seeing how slowly and effortless they trying to solve this war I was disappointed in them.They are just bunch of politicians who sold their asses for cheap gas and resources.I’m not pro Russian,but seeing how Ukraine successful fighting on it’s own against 2 countries almost from 4 directions almost with no loses is impressive.Mostly of Ukrainian people think that if you gonna join Europe you gonna instantly turn from poor to a successful and rich country,like Poland.But in reality each country has to achieve its wealth and after that it can join nato.If our people gonna realise that nato is just bunch of selfish politicians,who just care about themselves and Ukrainian can’t achieve its success with help of nato,then gonna be against this idea.What I’m basically saying that nato is selfish crap,and Ukraine can be powerful and rich country without anyone help.

Iraq: We needed help

Who cares they're not caucasian.
5real. With that said, I don't know if we can reasonably expect any other way. The history of invasion and intervention seems to indicate that the invader/intervener will be extremely hard-pressed to provide the society being intervened on a better future. Certainly it has happened successfully, but it is far easier to come up with an almost endless list of acute and even abject humanitarian catastrophes following invasions/interventions, no matter if the intentions was good or bad or mixed. Even then, society tends to find a way to survive or it even bounces back in a new form, but still there are those that lie ruined for long periods of time or cease to exist. I think it's totally right to say groups that feel more identified with each other will tend to be more likely to risk intervention (e.g. caucasians, people of the same language, nations in closer proximity, or any other way humans are grouped). Don't you?
You can't care about the problems in every country at all times. The west chooses to help Ukraine more so than those other countries because of the closer ties they have with that country. Canada for example has 1 million citizens of Ukrainian decent in a population of 38 million.
Caucasians are a minority in this world, yet they do help (of course, it is never enough and will never be enough; the demand will always be greater than the possibilities).
But the other people, which are not caucasians, and are a majority in this world, why don't they help?
It's not whole history. Journalists should add the centuries they show.
I figured that a video on the history of modern Ukraine might go back the last 5 centuries or so, to give context to the Russian relationship, but this only goes back 5 minutes, how is that history?
Yep what a joke! I just wasted 3:37 minutes of my life I can’t get back
You slightly missed 1500 years of history.
I don’t think this segment was meant to be a detailed history of 2000 years.
That would take too long but I think covering like 100-200 years would help give people more insight to why Russia is going after Ukraine.
@@samguy7209 In 13-th century here came Genghis khan, he was able to take Kiev with fight and Moscow without fight, then been beaten and Kiev became part of Grand Duchy of Lithuania while Moscow became part of Horde. Later Kiev tried to leave Poland (after Grand Duchy of Lithuania divided) and made some agreements with Moscow that became at that time head of Golden Horde. When leaders found that was a bad idea it was too late. So basically last 300 years it was sporadic civil wars for independence.
The best thing British media does is misleading
@@vladimirseven777 i get what you're saying but the relevant part of history if you dont have time to go through 1500 years is to look at 100-200 years to get the gist of it. Its better then the false narrative of the medias.

You quote a single poll from some "Rating Group". What is that? Is that an independent body? And what type of questions were asked?
Whenever there's only data from a single poll, assume it's fake.
For those, who are looking for historical comparison, pay attention to how Cino-japanese long war 1931-1945 went and ended. First Japanese annexed Manchuria(Crimea and Donbass), establishing puppet state. Next, there was a long pause. No one helped chinese, both sides were preparing for final confrontation. On 1937, provocation on Marco-Polo brige. Japanese flamed China for aggression and started full invasion, that ended up only at the end of WWII. Chinese lost millions of people, but never surrender. I don't blame japanese for their past, but back in the day, they were on wrong side of history. Today, they learned their lesson, so will russian one day. But first, they need to be defeated and went through deputinization.

@@Readthis880 blame russia for that
0:05 I see no new nations. I see the reemergence of a number of nations conquered by the soviet union between world war 1 and world war 2.
Thank you for saying this, I am incredibly happy to see that at least somebody understands this.
It'd be nice if this was true. However, for all the *attempts* at creating nation states, there were no such states, *stable* and *long-lasting*, as Ukraine, Armenia etc. before the USSR conquered the areas in 1922.
Significant parts of Ukraine have longer been under Polish rule than Russian, a fact that is often blinked out when Russia puts claims on everything it had its feet on for longer than a few minutes. There, the local religion of the orthodox church was accepted, Ruthenian the official language (although as common in pre-modern Europe, Polish was the noble language), while under Russia, things went poorly going back at least 2 centuries.
Nowadays, Russia pats itself for telling the narrative of significant amounts of Russian speakers but aggressive cultural assimilation and settlement policies (often carried out by Imperial nations at that time), replaced or devoured the Ruthenians as it happened with many other minorities within the Russian Empire/Soviet Union.
But languages can't erase cultural heritage and the history of that region dates back longer than the history of the Muscovites.
You missed Moldova (ex-soviet country and Romania (ex-communist country) on the map
If you decide to watch this video for informational purposes, please take into consideration the following:
- it is incorrect to say that politics in Ukraine is divided into solely pro-russian and pro-European sides. We have multiple political parties that are able to take part in the elections, it is not a two-party system;
- 68% of the population supporting Ukraine's joining the EU does not presuppose that the remaining 32% support close political and diplomatic relations with russia. Many people nowadays are of the opinion that Ukraine should remain on its own and not join any unions;
- saying that Ukrainian nation emerged after the collapse of the USSR is a blatant disrespect towards our historical heritage and the display of plain ignorance on the part of the presenter. The USSR was never a homogeneous creation despite all the efforts to make it look so, and a part of Ukrainians always harboured the hope to get back the country's independence that it was brutally robbed of when russia once again decided it had the right to decide for somebody else. The Ukrainian culture, language, and history were born a long time ago and have been evolving for many years, and so what you call a nation was neither created during the soviet times nor after them.
This topic is difficult to comprehend for those who don't know much about the history of this side of the globe. To get a better understanding of it, think of Ukraine as a country that has been oppressed by colonizers for a very long time. Most of the time the worst colonizer was russia in all its forms, be it the russian empire, the USSR, or the russian federation. Nevertheless, it doesn't mean that previously there wasn't any Ukrainian nation. On the contrary, our cultural identity was shaped by all the tragedies and unfairness that we had to endure, so thinking that we are a young nation is an incredibly foolish thing to do. Don't make this mistake, don't be like putin.
surely you have to recognise there is a difference between that cultural heritage and the current borders. You can't draw on the heritage when it suits you and deny it when it suits the Russians. Well, you can, but it really damages your credibility.
There is no doubt Ukraine is a nation with a very strong identity.
There's a lot of doubt, I've met several Ukrainians because my husband is Ukrainian. They always say they come from Russia, and I've never understood this lack of pride in one's national identity. Also many native Ukrainians speak Russian at home. It's sending mixed signals to everyone.
WTF are you talking about? I am Ukrainian and not a single Ukrainian in my neighbourhood identifies as Russian.
Ukrainians despise Russians.
Your Husband is a Russian born in Ukraine, he isn't a true Ukrainian if he says he is Russian.
Ukraines physical border has been roughly what it currently is (prior to the invasion) for thousands of years.
Ukrainian and Russian are two different languages, like Spanish and Portugese, and when you look at the history of Ukraine we have never really been associated with Russia prior to 1700.
Prior to 1700 Ukraine and Poland had a shared governance, heritage and culture.
That's why as a Ukrainian I can speak and understand some Polish, but I don't understand Russian at all.
I'm better off translating French as an English speaker than translating Russian as a Ukrainian speaker.

Do not lie to us Americans about Ukraine? We Americans demanded Ukraine to destroy their missiles as useless metal since they were controlled from Moscow anyway 😂😂😂. You forgot to mention that it is was not France but Russia who also "gave some guarantees of sovereignty to Ukraine". It was all OK in Ukraine till 2014. Russians and Ukrainians were brother people. Ukrainians voted for pro-Russian President whose election promises included making Russian as the second state language of Ukraine. But he was outthrown by Banderas from the Western Ukraine in 2014. Not without our American help, of course. What Western Ukrainians have to do with the main-land Ukraine since they were incorporated into Ukraine only in 1945 thanks to comrade Stalin? After 600 years of Polish rule. And now we Americans and the world sees the collapse of the "Ukrainian nation".
It is such a shame that nobody learns from history, it's just like 1938 with Czechoslovakia. Don't they learn how bullies need to be dealt with? All they had to do is station a few lightly armored multi-national blue helmed peacekeeping divisions along the border and Putin would have never had the courage to touch them because bullies are always cowards, there are one and the same.

I wonder if Ukraine would have remained neutral, like Switzerland for example, things might have worked out better. They are between a rock and a hard place geographically and politically. And they were in Russia until 1991. If they had played both sides they would at least be their own country instead of either Russian or owned by Black Rock.

When repeating Putin's propaganda about ancient Russian soil, maybe you should provide just few lines of a context to it. Thank you!
Media always twist things. Putin said it because there so many russian speaking people inside Ukraine which Ukrainian government tried to eliminate them by banning russian language and killing people in the Eastern Ukraine. Russia was asking the government to make an agreement to end the war in Ukraine but kiev government didn't care much. Ukraine is a divided country. Not all Ukrainian supporting their government but these media trying their best not to show their voices.
@@AshrafAli-is4wv Russia and Putin is still wrong
@@AshrafAli-is4wv You're just repeating Putin' lies used to justify an invasion. As for Ukraine being divided- Russia is doing a lot to unite them.
Alaska was ancient Russian soil.
@@AshrafAli-is4wv Ukraine is getting away. If you are Russian living in Ukraine and you don't like Ukraine, then move. They don't need sepratist states, or Putin loyalists, in their borders.
Thank you for explaining this. I was so confused about what's going on.
Very enlightening, except for BBC forgot to mention there was a bloody coup which led to civili unrest in eastern provinces and "anti-terrorist operation" there.

More complicated than the BBC will tell you.
A brief history of the beginning of modern Ukraine: Drunk Yeltsin met with Kravchuk 1991 and they dissolved USSR and Ukraine was created for the first time. Yeltsin was so drunk that he forgot to tell Kravchuk that Crimea will stay with Russia.
BBC, you've missed to mention Ukraine's neighbour to the south 🇷🇴, which is a part of Nato and EU !! Try better reporting next time 😏
Let's twist the facts so that would think Ukraine was a thriving democracy and everywhere rained with money and opportunities...
Last I've checked, they were (mostly) on par with the Moldavianas, which in turn are far behind Romanians and Bulgarians, which in turn are the poorest economies of Europe...
Ukrainians found oil and gas deposits. It's one of the main reasons for crimea annexation. Don't get me wrong I understand why Russia is alarmed by NATO expansion. I'm not gonna lie if I was Russian I'd be worried due to the geographic defence concerns. Russia has a lot of flat plains.
@@Mrcheekymonkeyisback What concerns? Russia has nukes and is in no danger of any invasion. US Army will launch an offensive from Estonia and take St Petersburg? Come on. Russia cannot come to terms with the loss of its sphere of influence in Eastern Europe. Almost all the countries in the region have decided to join the West of their own free will.
Americas is behind all this, and you can be sure they don’t give a rats ass about the Ukrainian people . Look up Mearsheimer lecture on this. All smoke and mirrors
Your ability for fail in the most basic human emotions is breathtaking. I thing your comment belongs in economy section, or something one of those Russien oligarchs would say...
@@Euderos91 hahahah The as if the weste gave two rats about the civilians in Iraq, Libya, Syria or Afghanistan. All about power. And now 400,000 civilians are dead, 1/3 of thewm children and you never gave a shit . Hypocrite
That in no way is a brief history of Ukraine it was a part of Russia from 1667 to 1991 and it is steeped in Russian history y'all tend to leave that part out every time perhaps for your own agenda
Ukraine was not a part of Russia until 1772 and it played an utterly irrelevant Role in the Russian empire aside from draining the budget due to Russification.
Why condense its history
to just modern times BBC?
Could it be that you wish not
to highlight its shared history
with its northern neighbour??

Basically, Ukraine has money. Putin wants that money.
Did you guys know that without ukraine which by the way the beginning of early Russian first began in a town called Kyiv which is in Ukraine then later the Slavic people then headed more east therefore leading to the beginning of the new country Russia which have to say that Putin hating on Ukraine is hypocritical because without the early Russians that came from Ukraine, then Russia would’ve never exist

There ain't that many sources on slavic people. Might have been Soviet propaganda rewriting history. or maybe slavs just didn't leave that much historic evidence.
Modern history books usually start with the formation of the Kievan Rus out of different slavic tribes sometime in late 800's AD, though as of that moment there even weren't such nations as Russians or Ukrainians, just Rus people. So technically there is no ancient history according to modern history, as the Rus nation has been formed in medieval era. Though the land thats called Ukraine now was also controlled by Polish people, but historical evidence we have access to suggests that the Kingdom of Poland has been formed in early 1000's AD. Even though Ukrainian ancestric nations didn't have any ancient history, you can still look up eastern/western slavic medieval history, it's an interesting read nonetheless, since the land that would later be called Ukraine has seen a lot of changes.
Nazi collaborators is their history
@@user-hf6hp9ou3v Thanks for the brief ancient history of ukraine.I appreciate it.
Where NATO Where NATO? That's what the Ukrainian citizens we're saying while under attacked of shelling! I hope people in Ukraine realise soon that their country is unfortunately not a NATO state, and thus, NATO is not allowed to join the armed confrontations. The only thing the West can do is to supply them guns and ammunitions! As well giving tough sanctions.
NATO ...you bums have never paid your 2 % GDP PLUS ...you owe for all those years you never paid ...PLUS 10 year phase in ...GO FOOK YOUR SELF
It's the irony of it all. People were outside the American embassy protesting and telling Americans to leave. The embassy left right afterwards and now they want Americans back.
Ukraine applied to join NATO in 2008, but was turned down because Hungary voted no.
Now Hungary is taking the 2md most refugees after Poland.
If Hungary said yes im the 4 years Putin wasn't president.....this wouldn't have happened.
@@michaelp4122 Liar! Merkel and Sarkozy denied Ukraine joining NATO in 2008. Hungary was hitting the brakes, too - in common NATO - Ukraine projects, because the minorities are not protected in Ukraine (all the sympathy for Ukraine fighting for their land but the truth is they have problems with minorities rights).
@@ionbrad6753 Yes, France and Germany also blocked Ukraine.
If not for their error in 2008, Ukraine would be NATO and none of this would be happening.
Funny how Russia invading NATO to "Defend themselves against an expanding NATO" has pushed Finland and Sweden to join NATO and pushed Ukraine to join the EU

Im leaving the UK if this crap continues much longer guys
Why start in 1991? Why not 1917? Why not include the politics of 1950's? How about explaining what happened in the 1930's? What about the Ukrainian Socialist Soviet Republic's membership of the UN, and how this was viewed in the West then? Where did Ukrainian nationalism spring from? What happened in the 19th Century? The importance of Ukraine to Russia for food? This video is not a history lesson. It's just 3 all too brief minutes.
What happened with the politics of 1950s?
nope
The report completely misses the agreements between usa / nato and russia prior to 1990 which is why the current situation in 2022 exists.
STAY STRONG UKRAINE!
Which Ukraine? Including the four former regions of Ukraine: Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporozhe and Herson?
It is stupid to get a history lesson from BBC about Ukraine.
i have been doing a deep dive into new articles from 2000-2020 ... this report is HIGHLY slanted east, and leaves out an incredible amount of detail. Yes, this is an invasion by Russia, but the story is so much deeper than this childish explanation.
Thank you BBC!
It is in no way fair that Russia, which started the war, is now saying stop the war
Some hard facts. Ukraine was 2nd richest in the Soviet era. It has a huge Russian population. Ukraine has been assudioyslu wooed by NATO and Ukraine showed huge excitement to be part of EU. Now Russia did not expect to have the barrels of NATO at its doorstep. The west continued the exercise EITHIYT Ukraine building it's defence. Now the stupid part comes from Ukraine leadership in NOT developing it's defence BEFORE singing NATO. Thevw7srst option would have been staying neutral and showing polite thumbs to both sides.Prsgmstism comes with wisdom.
You cannot survive against a force with its own source of power
Please, Don’t turn your families, your children, yourselves, as ones who love their land and their possessions, more than each other
No
When will have this answers,your will understand that is two countries fight for expansion on any methods and what its the role in this story, for what we are finding.
In 1940 Britain decided to fight on against Germany & it was a realistic decision. The Royal Air Force was strong & had a lot of fighter aircraft. The Royal Navy plus RAF would have made an invasion across the channel difficult. The situation for Ukraine is far far worse. Their air force is no match for Russia's and same with the army. However, Putin will not want to repeat what happened in Afghanistan for the Russian army and the USA and its allies.
Lol, ask Afghanistan people who do they love more? American or Russian? Looool

There's only so much time and money a country can invest before war comes knocking
Russia has oil money to spend 60bn a year on the army. Ukraine could only afford 5bn. Yet Kyiv, Kharkiv, Kherson still stands despite an onslaught from all sides and it doesn't seem like blitzkrieg.
Exactly.
Similar things happened in Afganistan last year, Afgani citizens were pleading for Help from west at that time. you can remember scenes from Kabul Airport for which west didn't do anything, similar things are happening in Ukraine, and similar things can happen with Taiwan too.
Butterfly effect -- Ukrainians rallying, digging in, and fighting back makes Russians... and the Chinese pause, step back, and see the whole chess board.
this is not like afghanistan.. their president fled soon after invasion.. they did not defend their cities against taliban who were lacking military equipment.. they surrendered very quickly. ukraine is a different case. these people are willing to die in order to protect their cities from the invadors which could even strike with nuclear weapons.
the West helped Afghanistan for 20 years. The West cannot help the whole rest of the world for ever. Unfortunately. Help yourself. Fight the Talibans. The Afghans just threw the weapons and surrendered...
