1:31 The capital of Ukraine is Kyiv. Please, search on the internet #KyivnotKiev

Hello from a Ukrainian! Thank you for this video, here's a little commentary:
3:02 it says "глобус" (globe), it's a shopping mall
3:20 it's a street exhibition of political photography about Maidan
3:35 a little more about the Arch (some parts taken from wiki cause I suck at English): in 2016 the Ukrainian government announced plans to dismantle the arch as part of its decommunization laws. However it turned out to be too expensive and it was decided that only the statues should be removed. For the Eurovision Song Contest 2017, the arch was temporarily painted into a rainbow and renamed the Arch of Diversity; with the arch doubling as the symbol of the Kyiv Pride parade. In 2018 Ukrainian artists painted a "Fracture of Friendship" on the Arch in order to remember those Ukrainians who are in Russian prisons.
4:10 the frog is there, google it, guys, you won't regret it xD
6:03 closer meaning would be "furious", "vehement", "rageful"
6:38 all mountains in Crimea are beautiful, can confirm
Well, that's it, thanks again, you got a new subscriber.
Wow, thank you for all the added information 😄 I appreciate it!

Thank you for a video. It seems you did a lot of work here.
It took some work 😊 Thank you!
@@TravelandGeography hi
Good video, would be glad to see more Ukrainian video!
Ukraine is underrated Pearl in Europe. Does not explored by tourists:)
Thank you! 😄 Yes, I would love to visit some day!
This is my first time to your channel but I love it!! 👍👍
O great, thank you!
You forgot about Tovtry Medobory. These are mountains created from the remains of coral reefs of the Sarmatian Sea, which was located on this territory 15 million years ago
Wow, that is interesting! Thank you for sharing 😄
your solid gold young lady
5:27 Dnister (UA Дністер)
It’s definitely hot in Kyiv right now.
That was an awesome commentary on Ukraine 🇺🇦 . One suggestion though. An occupied territory of not disputed territory. Thanks
Thank you 😄
From my study of history, Ukraine is part of Russia
@@valentinor8428 was ,was . Not is . In that regard so was Finland 🇫🇮 .
Great vid, love to c other places.

5:03 Dnipro river is from Ukrainian language. Dnieper is from Russian language.
Dnieper is an English word
СЛАВА УКРАЇНІ
Героям слава!
Secondly, the first mention of the name Ukraine was in 1187, so your remark that it wasn’t called like that before is misinformation. Misinformation is dangerous in the current situation when there’s hybrid war between Russia and Ukraine
Even earlier, the country’s name was Kyivan Rus’, it was a monarchy, one of the biggest and greatest in Europe at that time
Nice video, but you didn’t mention about that Ukraine was Kyiv Rus :(
Ukraine seems like such a nice country, it's sad to think about what has happened to it 😔
It clearly says on the map on your screen - it’s Kyiv, not Kiev. It’s like calling London - Lundun
yeah the capital of ukrain is kyiv
Дякую, подорожі та географія, це вимовляється Kyiv not Kiev.
Is Crimea under Russian or Ukrainian control?
It is officially Ukrainian but is currently under Russian control because of the annexation in 2014
In 1954 Nikita Chroesjtsjov gave it to Ukraine. Before that strange act (and now again..) is was Russian. So, now it is where it should be; a part of Russia.
@@arjenboeijenga117 a part of shit
"The country was called Little Russia" - only in Russia it was called as Little Russia. Ukrainians and their neighbours (except Russians) never called it Little Russia.
Who was here for ukraine vs russia ww3
Me
bruh
Bad that this beautyfull country is in a war with Russia
Me niga is niga
Sorry, but Ukraine never was called as little russia!!! Where you got to know that BS???
"Ukraine" does not mean borderland. Ukraine simply means "country"/"inside a country". Russia made everything possible to spread the theory that Ukraine means borderland,
Thank you for explaining!
It means borderland (u krajiny or u kraje), but it has nothing to do with Russia, it was end of civilised europe in middle ages, there was nothing behind Ukraine, only elves, orcs and dwarves. 🙂
@@Pidalin No. It does not mean borderland. In Ukrainian language the preposition "u" does not mean "near" or "by" - this meaning is only in Russian language.
Ukraine means “land/country within the limits/borders”.
There is another meanings of "У" preposition in Ukrainian. There are cases when preposition "У"(U) is often written/pronounced also as "В"(W) depending on the ending of previous word in the sentence - in those cases it means "in", "inside" "within the limits/borders". We have an evidence (as minimum from XIX century) that the word "Ukraine" was used in both forms "Україна" (Ukraina) and "Вкраїна"(Wkraina) so this is indeed such case with the meaning "in the country", "inside the country" "within the limits of the country" and NOT the meaning of borderland or edge. Preposition "У" is almost never used in the meaning "near" in Ukrainian (unlike it is in Russian).
The borderland theory is the Russian myth created in order to mock Ukraine as the "borderland of Russian World" while in fact it was the very center of Rus'/Ruthenia (cultural, political, religious center). Later Poles also start to use this myth in a form of “borderland of Poland”.
There is more evidence: Peresopnytsia Gospel - the 16th century first known example of a vernacular Old Ukrainian translation of the canonical text of the Scriptures written in local (Old-Ukrainian) dialect of Ruthenian. That gospel contains the word "Ukraine (Оукраина)" with the meaning not related to Ukraine at all, but as the common word with the meaning of the "land within the limits/borders", "country", "region" - this can be easily seen if we compare the same text in Ruthenian, Old Church Slavonic and Latin:
Below it means "in finibus" - "in the area", "within the borders":
И жилъ в капєрнаоумѣ за морємъ на оукраинах заоулонскыхъ и нєѳалимскыхъ...
Всєлися въ капєрнаумъ въ поморїє, въ прєдѣлѣхъ завулонихъ и нєфѳалімлихъ...
Et habitavit in Capharnaum maritima, in finibus Zabulon et Nephthalim...
Below it means "in fines" - "in the territories", "within the bounds of":
Вышоль з галилєи и пришоль въ оукраины иоудєйскыя по оноуи сторонѣ їордана...
Прєйдє от галїлєи и прїидє въ прєдѣлы іудєйскїя об онъ полъ іордана...
Мigravit a Galileaa, et venit in fines Judaeae trans Jordanem...
Below it means "regionem" / "regio" - "region", "country" and "страна" has clear meaning of the "country" in Old Church Slavonic:
И вышла о нємь повѣсть по всєи оукраинѣ...
И вѣсть изыдє по всєй странѣ о нємъ...
Et fama exiit per universam regionem de illo...
И прихожєвали к нємоу зо всєи оукраины їоудєйскои и иєр(с)лимьлянє...
И исходашє къ нєму вся іудєйская страна и ієр(с)лиманє...
Et egrediebatur ad eum omnis Iudaeae regio, et Jerosolymitae universi...
"u" in the meaning "near" or "by" is common in Russian but almost absent in Ukrainian. So meaning "u"+"kraj" (near/by the edge) works only for Russian language. Ukrainian language is based directly on Ruthenian language spoken on the lands that are now called Ukraine. The term "Ukraina" is very old - from the Rus' time. So it is anyway incorrect to try to derive the etymology based on modern Russian meanings of prepositions.
@@Anton_Danylchenko But it's not about Ukrainian or Russian langauge if this name comes from like 1000-1500 years ago when slavic tribes started moving to europe, they definitely didn't speak Ukrainian nor Russian back in the day.
Ofcourse these things are mostly based on legends and myths, so all theories can be actually wrong, but you can't say everything is lie only because it sounds like Russian to you, I didn't even know that it is like that in Russian, I thought most of slavic langauges have this meanings, if it's like that in all slavic languages, except Ukrainian, why do you think it's some Russian propaganda? Ukraine was end of "civilised world" for Europeans, that's fact and name in this meaning could be used by Poles, Czechs, or other slavic nations.
BTW, I've just put some phrases to translator and U means at in Ukrainian same like in other slavic langauges, so I don't really understand what are you talking about, when you are at grandma's, you say "u babusi" which is almost the same like in other slavic langauges.
Honestly, I think that both, Russians and Ukrainians spread propaganda about their history, Russians say that Ukraine doesn't exist and Ukrainians say that Russia is actually Ukraine, both is wrong.
