  • Russia and Ukraine's conflict has turned the world upside down. But how did it all start? Why did it come to this? In this special episode of MrSpherical, we explore the backstory of Russia and Ukraine's friendship, from their days during the USSR, all the way to the invasion that's currently going on.
    This is part one of our ongoing coverage of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. See part two here: • Russia invades Ukraine!

    2:00 It's weird how Belarus frowned when Russia said "Why America Sucks", since they hate the West, are strong allies with Russia, and now want a Union State with them. It's funny Turkmenistan laughs at Ukraine for not being a full member, when it's not a full member either. Neither Ukraine nor Turkmenistan signed the charter. And unlike Ukraine, Turkmenistan did so to follow a policy of permanent neutrality. Which was recognized by the UN in December 1995. Though Turkmenistan didn't become an associate state of the CIS until 2005.

    The voice of Russia reminded me of the Soviet commissioner who guides us during the tutorial of one of the old Call of Duty games. The days when the USSR dominated the east was the glorious days. It is in our humble opinion that Yeltsin was too drunk to rule Russia in the right direction. We are thankful we are best friends with Vladimir.

      And not really on the strategic importance. That's an entire culture that shares and speaks the same language as the russians do and are familiar with their culture. Not only that, but it prevents Russia from being one step closer to reuniting the USSR. A united and well defended europe is exaxtly what the US wants so they could finally shift their attention to China

      @kolya Nazarov Mordor and Russians are bad in this. The average Ukrainian wanted a Western living standard and they annexed Crimea and sent separatists into the Donbass.
      Then used the region of the Donbass to justify a full blown invasion. (SAME PLAYBOOK as with Georgia).
      ruskia cries about ruso-phobia, but makes it happen by using a 20% ruski population of any surrounding country as a reason to invade sovereign lands. That's why no country wants ruski immigrants any more. I feel bad for the average Russian, but unfortunately most of them are just zombies that believe kremlins propoganda anyway. Even hear in California I have to hear about how good Russia is, and I was born in Ukraine. So ya the brain washing is strong in Mordor (russia) but Ukraine is a sovereign country and we will finally rid ourselves of the rasists menace once and for all.

    I am really impressed how unbiased this video came out to be. It's neither pro-NATO nor pro-Russia. Respect!

      I am a Russian and I expected the worst. I really liked this video. There was only one moment missing here when two regions of Ukraine asked to leave together with Crimea, and Ukraine freaked out and hit them because of this.

      Otherwise, this video is absolutely objective.

      I especially liked how it was shown that the USSR lives inside present-day Russia, this is something that not everyone understands. This is much better than when Putin is compared to Hitler, although there are small similarities, of course, it is difficult to deny it now.

    We all really appreciate the effort and small details you are putting into these videos, they are really grate. Keep going and you will soon become the leader of country balls😂.
    Ps: do not think we dont see the small easter eggs such as the t14 at the end 😉😅
