Why Russia needs the Ukraine For those who ask: “Why does Ukraine matter? “ This is why Ukraine matters. It is the second largest country by area in Europe by area and has a population of over 40 million - more than Poland. Ukraine ranks: 1st in Europe in proven recoverable reserves of uranium ores; 2nd place in Europe and 10th place in the world in terms of titanium ore reserves; 2nd place in the world in terms of explored reserves of manganese ores (2.3 billion tons, or 12% of the world's reserves); 2nd largest iron ore reserves in the world (30 billion tons); 2nd place in Europe in terms of mercury ore reserves; 3rd place in Europe (13th place in the world) in shale gas reserves (22 trillion cubic meters) 4th in the world by the total value of natural resources; 7th place in the world in coal reserves (33.9 billion tons) Ukraine is an important agricultural country: 1st in Europe in terms of arable land area; 3rd place in the world by the area of black soil (25% of world's volume); 1st place in the world in exports of sunflower and sunflower oil; 2nd place in the world in barley production and 4th place in barley exports; 3rd largest producer and 4th largest exporter of corn in the world; 4th largest producer of potatoes in the world; 5th largest rye producer in the world; 5th place in the world in bee production (75,000 tons); 8th place in the world in wheat exports; 9th place in the world in the production of chicken eggs; 16th place in the world in cheese exports. Ukraine can meet the food needs of 600 million people. Ukraine is an important industrialised country: 1st in Europe in ammonia production; Europe's 2nd’s and the world’s 4th largest natural gas pipeline system; 3rd largest in Europe and 8th largest in the world in terms of installed capacity of nuclear power plants; 3rd place in Europe and 11th in the world in terms of rail network length (21,700 km); 3rd place in the world (after the U.S. and France) in production of locators and locating equipment; 3rd largest iron exporter in the world 4th largest exporter of turbines for nuclear power plants in the world; 4th world's largest manufacturer of rocket launchers; 4th place in the world in clay exports 4th place in the world in titanium exports 8th place in the world in exports of ores and concentrates; 9th place in the world in exports of defence industry products; 10th largest steel producer in the world (32.4 million tons). Ukraine matters. That is why its independence is important to the rest of the world.

I had to crack up when the russian woman was saying they love and take care of the old people and then a real old lady turns up and says the exact opposite x'D. perfect sketch
This hits different in 2022. I find myself drawn to these past news broadcasts and the more I watch the more I see how we have come to where we are now. I hope that there is a true golden age coming, as the woman in the video said. However, I hope that it does not come like this; With forced cooperation and fear.
we can see that Russia has other intentions. Actually Putin's main goal is to want Ukraine's natural wealth. In 2012, abundant natural gas and oil reserves were found in eastern Ukraine, it's Crimea, Donbask, Luhansk, Donesk, and Moldova in western Ukraine. that's why those parts of the territory that Russia really want to take are Crimea, Donbask, Luhansk, Donesk. And now they are closer to the western region of Ukraine as well, it's Moldova. Now, observers of world politics are reading Russia's movements, what they suspect is true, Russia's main goal is to target this area that has the potential for natural gas and oil. See.... that Crimea fell into Russia in 2014, but Russia ( Putin) was never satisfied with just one region, Putin also continued to rise up the rebellion he formed in Ukraine, and made the Ukrainian leader furious and inevitably sought refuge in NATO by joining NATO. because Ukraine feels unsafe to stand as an neutral country, Russia since 2000 after one year Putin became president of Russia continuously seized Ukraine territorial and Russia also supporting the rebellion in Ukraine to against the legitimate government in Ukraine. Ukraine will not choose to enter NATO if Russia as a neighboring country does not continue to seize Ukrainian territory. We can see the goals of the Russians rebellion it is to broke Ukrainan united and to seize the territory of Ukraine which has great natural potential. Russia and Ukraina same as like North Korea dan South Korea. (Russia) as North Korea and South Korea (Ukraina) . Most North Koreans choose to be South Koreans because they don't want to spend their whole life being North Korea, which is known as a country that adheres to the communist ideology capitalist . If we hear Putin's statement saying that his invasion was only to keep Ukraine from entering Nato, why is Russia (Putin) also stealing and seizing the territory of this independent country. If the purpose of the invasion was only to keep Ukraine from entering Nato, Russia should not have stolen and taken this territory of Ukraine, which has been independent since 1991. Invaded the country already independent that's so wrong , what's more, Russia (Putin) has also stolen the territory of an independent country...... Look at how deceitful Russia, the dictator, has acted so recklessly. Crimea which has been a Russian federation since 2014, many of them now regret and want to return to Ukraine but it is not that easy anymore, because all the leaders in cremia are puppets of Russia and those who are pro-Ukraine are imprisoned or even killed. When Crimea entered Russia, many foreign businessmen broke away from Crimea and did not want to invest there. Crimea is known for its beautiful beaches, now there are no more tourists visiting there, because they are afraid to see the large number of Russian military in Crimea, Crimea is only the center of the Russian military and Russia is also free to mine Crimea gas and oil. That is the goal of Russia to control the natural wealth of Crimea, which is known as one of the regions that has the largest natural gas and oil wealth in the world. We can see the different treatment that Russia did to Estonia and Latvia when they entered Nato in 2004. Putin, who has been be the President of Russia since 1999, doesn't even seem to hold Estonia and Latvia, even though if you look at these two countries, their position is same equal to Ukraine, which is in the middle between Nato and Russia. Estonia and Latvia are even closer to the Russian capital Moscow. These 2 former Soviet Union countries were not even invaded by Russia when they entered Nato. Why ??? because Estonia and Latvia do not have large natural resources to benefit Russia, so Russia (Putin) does not appear to be so adamant in defending these 2,,,,, WHILE Ukraine has very abundant natural potential, if Russia can seize it , it is very profitable for Russia. It could lift Russia into a country that has the largest natural wealth in the world. Likewise, the way their ancestors the Soviet Union taught Russia to dominate the world took away the natural wealth of other country and their federation, Enriched themself and made other poor inevitably depend on it. Thats why the Soviet Union collapsed before because of their selfish, greedy, corrupt, dictator, their union was broken and not harmonious because Russia as the leader of the Soviet Union at that time only enriched themself and could not be fair to the federation. See that's why most of them joined Nato instead of remaining part of the Soviet Union ( Russia)

They moved the indigenous Tartars out of Crimea immediately after WW2 to create the Russian dominated colony. Later it was moved to Ukraine because of geographic logic, Crimea has little fresh water. Crimea suffered badly as an unrecognised sanctioned area, the Russian economy works for the well connected not ordinary people. Furthermore the sanctions imposed in 2014 has clearly degraded Russian military capabilities.
@@RobBCactive it is a crime against humanity to purposefully block access to water to the population. North Crimean Canal is responsible for 85% of Crimeas water. People in Simferopol had only water for 4 hours per day !!!! Not only that, but Ukraine also completely shut down all the electricity towards Crimea. That is why the Russian forces have captured the nuclear power plant in Energodar, they do not want to fire at the plant because they need it. It is Ukraine that is corrupt and sabotaging. Yeah, Soviet Union had some big problems, Stalin did horrific things, but Soviet Union is gone and the forced removal of Tatars happened 70-80 years ago. Putin is openly criticising Soviet Union and Lenin. The referendum in Crimea, 96% voted to join Russia. Do you know how many Tatars there are? 12% . Not every Tatar is an ukrainian patriot, this is a fact. Watch "Ukraine on fire" by Oliver Stone, it was made in 2016 I believe, explains the 2014 coup to the details
Ukrainians are not the enemy of Russians - through out history Ukraine has never once ventured beyond its borders in aggression or tried to dominate and oppress its neighbours - same cannot be said for Russia
@@CharleenDoll - nonsense - every European country has the right to make its own decisions about NATO without the interference from Putin & his Russia - also, Russian language was never "outlawed" in Ukraine - under the existing constitution of Ukraine minorities have the right to speak their native language freely in Ukraine - the fact that Russian and Ukrainian are sister languages which are mutually understood there is no need for official Russian language in Ukraine in fact many Ukrainians speak in many dialects of Ukrainian, even Russian and Polish languages in Ukraine just like in Russia where you have over 300 different nationalities but Russians have one official Russian language so all you Russians simply brain washed full of propaganda childish nonsense and that is why the world is against you

@@riskaborneo843 - gas reserves of Ukraine rates 26th in the world and it has 1/46th of Russia's energy reserves so Ukraine could develop itself to become self sufficient but it does not compete with Russia nor is it the real cause behind Putin's war - Putin has simply gone mad with regaining Russian empire status to USSR which will not happen - the best thing Russia can do is get rid of him, join the world and upgrade Russia to a market economy with EU - this can only happen if Putin is removed and it is currently the best time for this motivation to become a reality

well everything that isnt pro-russian is propaganda in your opinion you´ve probably didnt even watched it.. you just wanted to cry propaganda so you can consider yourself a critical freethinker
jonathan77ize I watched it. So what? They find nice looking guy telling crap about Russia and place a "russian" drunkard near buy. They show a woman whining about Russia coming to where she lives and saying they lived there for 300 years without mentioning that Crimea was a part of Ukraine for only last 60 years and before that was Russia. It's full of bs like that.
XxLadrxX So by your logic, crimean peninsula appeared there only 60 years ago xD That sounds awesome. Btw, few thousand years ago it belonged to Greeks. Should they come in at take what's theirs? She was born when it was ukraine, so it is ukraine for her and families can live in the same place no matter how the place is called.
"An illegal referendum" - Crimea was an autonomous region in both the Soviet Union and in Ukraine. Actually, Crimea left USSR before Ukraine did and wanted to join Russia in 1991. To avoid a possible conflict, president Jeltsin allowed Ukraine to keep administrative control of Crimea as long as its autonomous rights were respected. The referendum was legal and according to the international laws and UN charters of self-determination. It was issued by a lawfully elected autonomous government of Crimea and controlled by UN observers. The only reason the USA and its allies are calling the referendum "illegal" is that they don't like the outcome. If Crimea was "occupied" and "annexed" then where are the protests? Where are the "freedom fighters"? Where are the Russian occupying forces patrolling the streets? Those are the signs of an oppressive and occupying foreign force. Like the Americans in Iraq.
@@reanimationeas342 I don't remember Iraq being a part of the USA or having 95% of American citizens living there. Or ever had a vote on being invaded. The parliament of Crimea asked for permanently stationed Russian Forces in Crimea for help. You call it an invasion, the Crimean population calls it freedom. Can you remind me who in Iraq asked for Americans to come and invade?
@@SlavicSpring The number of a specific ethnic group does not equal loyalty. If you looked at polls in 2013, less than half of the population wanted to join Russia and that was without Russian soldiers in the area. In 2014 when the referendum took place, nearly all eligible voters choose independence and joining Russia? Most Crimean Tatars didn't participate. Many Ukrainian people and some Russians didn't participate. The Crimean prime minister was replaced by Russian forces and Pro-Russian separatists. How were the referendum results accurate? Do you see something wrong or will you just call it propaganda?
@@reanimationeas342 Those are nice and great US propaganda "facts". Give me the polls from the UN observation committee. from Indian observers, you know, people without a political stake in Crimea. Where are those? Crimea was an autonomous area - autonomous with certain rights. One of those rights was to decide its own faith. Crimea wanted to be a part of Russia when they left the Soviet Union, but Yeltsin (read - USA) stopped them. Instead of citing anti-Russian nonsense, how about you answer me about who invited the USA to Iraq? And, if anything of your anti-Russian propaganda was even remotely right...where are the "freedom fighters" against Russia? Where are those poor, sad Tatars, fighting for, oh, so beautiful Ukrainian rule? I can tell you, they freaking HATE the Ukrainian government. Ukrainian mad and uncontrolled nationalism have removed all minority rights in Crimea. Now the right is back, because of the Russian Federations Constitution. Russians don't remove nations from their constitution as Ukrainians do. Just read what you said, travel to Crimea - or look at videos from common people in Crimea, and you'll realize they are finally home. Ukrainian military left without the fuss because they went home...where they came from. West of Kiev.
Love how Vice interviews both pro-Russians and pro-Ukrainians and yet people constantly say they're biased. Common sense isn't very present these days it seems
Agree if the people wanted to join Russia, Russia would not of had to invade Crimea with their military. As far as the people that were interviewed, we all know how that works in Russia.
Ignorant af my guy. Russia was already there. Ukraine leased crimeas ports for russian military use. There reason russia sent more troops wasnt to forcibly annex. They voted to be russian and to defend that vote russian troops were sent in. Look at what happened to donetsk and luhansk. Urkaine bombed them to hell after they declared independence and without russian support there was no stopping them. This is why russia is here. To stop the bloodshed.
Ukranian guy said it was Voted by over 50 % which affirmation of referendum in favour of Russia so where do you get the idea if force !? 🤔 Looking at all those ethnicity Russian people as 95% ,the figure of 90% for Russia becomes more the reality not the 50 plus! No force for sure but take over of Ukraine and Donbas by coup and afterward with weapons is clear force with taking back stages to now by Russians
A person at the 11th minute said that he was kept 11 days in prison and he was tortured with electricity. Torture electricity leave characteristic easily recognizable marks on the body - but he did not show his wounds to the journalist. Typical liar. Do not believe it.

There is no controversy in this.. Ukraine will never get Crimea back. Case closed. Move On people! Let Crimea now properly develop since it's been horribly neglected by ukraine since '91... You've heard the peoples voice. and respect it. Crimea since '91 has been an autonomous republic anyways. for good reason.
Your comment was 5 years ago and was right about Putin. Now 2022 Putin said the same thing "there's no invasion in Ukraine" but Putin rolled in his army destroying major cities in Ukraine causing horrible lethal destruction 2 weeks after. Cannot trust words from communist Kremlin.
It got worse. I have friend who's wife is from Crimea. It's simply occupied by Russia and knowing what shithole Russia is - in Crimea it will just get worse. I do not know any country which would get better once Russian occupied it....
The Crimea has been Russian well before there was a country called the Ukraine.. The British, French and Turks fought the Russians in the Crimea in the 1850s. I have been to the area, as a military history buff I went there to walk the battlefields of the Crimean War. Yet in spite of the short time I was there I noticed how pro-Russian the people are, they speak Russian and many consider themselves Russian not Ukrainian. Khruschev gave the Crimea to the Ukrainian SSR without consulting the people of the region, at that time it did not matter too much because the Ukraine and Russia were all one country back then, the USSR. But when the Ukraine became independent then it became an issue with many people of the Crimea crying out to be annexed by Russia. Without Russia's mostly bloodless take over it is very possible that a rising against Kiev could have broken out in the Crimea, starting an insurgency that could have gone on for years and cost thousands of lives. I am British and I back Russia all the way over the Crime
So if Mexico invaded the US and starts supporting terrorism in the US, and their reasoning is "California used to be part of Mexico and we're just reclaiming it!", you would back mexico "all the way over" the US? Probably not, huh..
Everyone is saying to her that she doesn't have to stay there, because her passport will be brought to her home. But she doesn't believe them, because nothing like this would've ever happened in Ukraine.
+Ancupola The referendum was NOT legal for several reasons: 1) Russian troops ILLEGALLY entered Crimea (then part of Ukraine) with hundreds of troops. Taking over government buildings and ordering the Ukrainian military to evacuate. This violated the 1994 Budapest Agreement, which Russia signed honouring Ukraine's territorial sovereignty. So right off the bat here, we have an illegal, foreign occupation, which used violence- 2 Ukrainian soldiers killed.2) The referendum was not sanctioned by Ukraine, as Crimea was still legally a part of it. Essentially, a foreign invasion force ordered a referendum without consent from Kiev.3) The referendum itself was a farce. It was hastily ordered, without time for real political debate- for example, there were no pro-Ukrainian opposition parties. Any Ukrainian attempts to protest were repressed, with people intimidated, attacked or imprisoned. Not to mention the huge amount of anti-Ukrainian propaganda, which depicted Ukrainians as Nazis. In short, it was an annexation- exactly the same thing happened to Austria under the Anschluss of 1938.
Андрей Умнов Да незачем, украинцы адекватный народ на соседа не нападает, территорию не аннексирует, манией величия не страдает. А рузке надо изолировать как того алкоголика с "белой гаячкой"
Да, очень адекватный и мирный народ. Когда президент страны Янукович сделал не по-их нему, адекватный народ немедленно начал закидывать стражей порядка коктейлями Молотова и отрубать им ноги, время от времени выдавливать глаза, крича "Слава Украине!!!". Не то что эти необразованные "рузке" звери, когда те выходили на площадь в Москве выступая против Путина. Вот там был ужас.
Kayander1 Аххахаххахха, ноги рубали, ааххахаха :D В такое верят только рузке идиоты. Это как история про ребенка которого распяли на доске объявлений в Славянске :D Чем страшнее ложь, тем больше в неё верят таки валенки. Дурень, ты живешь у себя в России и рассказываешь мне про то в чем я сам принимал участие. Рассказывая подобную чушь. Начнем с того, что Янукович после своего избрания систематически нарушал Конституцию Украины. В Украинской Конституции единственным источником власти есть народ, а уже потом президенты, парламент и т.д. Если народ не согласен с действиями парламента или президента, он имеет право на протест и как нормальный президент Янукович должен был прислушаться к мнению народа, потому как он не царь в отличии от вашего Путина. Но Янукович поставил забор возле Верховной Рады и нагнал туда "беркут" который защищал Януковича и его Партию Регионов от гнева народного. Янукович продлил базирование ЧФ РФ в Крыму, хотя украинцы были против. И вот чем это обернулось сейчас. Попросту Янукович это 6-стёрка Путина. Он полностью прибрал все рычаги власти к своим рукам. А уже осенью 2013 г. студенты вышли на майдан. После чего пришел "беркут" и разогнал этих студентов ударами дубинок по голове. Разбивая при этом головы безоружных людей. Попадало даже девушкам. Украинцы имели полное право свергнуть этого пидараса продающего Украину Путину. Украинцы имели полное право защищаться от мусоров-преступников, которые служили этому гандону! Украинский народ имел полное право после убийства мусорами людей хоть стрелять, хоть резать. Потому что украинский народ стоял за свое государство, а мусора стояли за пидараса который это государство разрушал!

Because Russia barged into another nations territory, in this case Ukraine's, and said "You vote in this referendum" and put fear into the souls of those who did not want to vote to be a part of Russia. This is not democracy, and this is not Russia's territory. It's like the UK annexing the Republic of Ireland and saying "this is ours".

How ironic that the "Ukrainians" are speaking russian. As a russian i can admit that there is a distinctive Ukrainian culture but it is in the west. In Crim we have felt occupied by the Ukrainians.

How in gods name can the people of Crimea can’t support Putin I’ll never know just look at all the RUclips tragedy children women shot in the streets they should be ashamed and ask God for forgiveness
This is due to the fact that Stalin has replaced the entire population of Crimea with Russians. (a well-known trick from the russians). and also applied by putin with the deportation of 1.9 million eastern ukrain people. And the passport trick .... yes that's how the Russians do it
Yup. The older couple who mentioned they had lived in Ukraine only briefly and were happy to "be back in Russia" made me wonder how many of those who supported the referendum had only lived there briefly. The mysterious little green men were there briefly as well. Almost sounds orchestrated.
You say that Crimea has "bleak economic future", but Russian economy is growing (slowly, but still) and is kinda ok, while Ukraine can't pay their debts and is close to default. Crimea's economic future as part of Russia is much much much brighter then as a part of Ukraine. Even with all those sanctions from the West.
I dont know if vice is really for the good of people or another propganda. Russia built 2 huge power plant to accomodate the electricity problem in crimea. And they built a bridge connecting crimea to mother russia. While when they are in ukraine, crimea is always blackout due to electricity shortage and isolated and forgotten in ukraine
Russia only would want northern Kazakhstan where slavs live. Like the guy said in this video about the slavic nation. Russians say they are anti-nazi but they actually don't want Asians in their country.

asvfm законодательство поменялось - отсюда и проблемы как понимаю, как-то не убедительно, ну вот я дятел и не знаю что там происходит. Дай хотя бы три примера ухудшений. Ну мб фирмы всякие типа макдака ушли. Что теперь работать негде?
XxLadrxX Да перерегистрируют предприятия, не вопрос, и законодательство российское не сильно отличается от украинского. Но невозможно работать в современном мире фактически без транспорта (даже мост не спасет), полноценной банковской системы и зарубежных партнеров. Из-за тупоголовых крымских властей так и не смогли договориться по водоснабжению, хотя нужно было лишь не упоминать слово "Россия" в договоре). В результате огромные титановый и содовый заводы встали, рисоводство перестало существовать. У меня в округе несколько заводов стоят и заменить заказчиков, поставщиков, профиль производства и наработанные связи не реально без огромных инвестиций, под санкции попадать нет желающих. А ещё есть такая штука как патриотизм, вот представь что например твой город условно в России вдруг перешел к Беларуси. Вроде и отличий мало, но возникает невольный вопрос: "какого хера?".
asvfm Понятно. Ну про патриотизм - к Беларуси если присоединят - я не против) там говорят здорово. 60 лет назад тоже самое ведь было Россия передала Крым Украине. У всех был тот же вопрос "какого хера?". Со временем всё улеглось.
5:49 fr How crimea is Russia when You have Deported the entire population of Native Crimean tatars to central Asia. Like u have killed their entire Culture and history then claiming to be a crimean?? .
@@AkashS97 When you posted this, the railway was opened. The bridge was already open for a while to cars and trucks before the train tracks were completed.
I am from Crimea myself. I was born in Sevastopol. I however lived in Ireland for the last 15 years but visited Crimea during summers. Watching this sickens me. Crimean people today with its pro-Russian feelings and "patriotism", their love for Putin and Soviet Union really reminds me of the modern day North Koreans. These people live a lie and a fantasy. They are in shit and lovin it. But they don't know that. They will never know.
А на каких основания Хрущов подарил Крым Украине? Только потому что он жил в Украине, и решил подарить Крым в 1954 году, Украине!? За какие заслуги, делались такие подарки! У Беларуси оттяпали Беласток и подарили полякам, а Вильнюс подарили Прибалтике, за какие такие заслуги, беларусские земли дарили непонятно кому!
I mean honestly both sides on this issue make pretty f-cking absurd statements/arguments. Is what Russia did legal? No, of course not. But, it's also illegal to carry out a covert armed coup in a country as well disposing of the legally elected President so, the West doesn't have any room to talk on this issue as they were the first ones in this country to carry out an illegal act (& that specifically limits things to actions to solely what happened in Ukraine... we won't even go into actions elsewhere.) That doesn't make it what Russia did legal still, but it certainly should make people not listen when the West whines about Russia's illegal behavior in taking Crimea. Secondly, they did carry out a referendum in Crimea for people to express what they wanted to happen. Now the west dismissed the whole thing as a sham, but the polling done in Crimea a year after the referendum which found almost identical results to the referendum & was done by western polling companies from the U.S. & Germany seems to answer whether or not the vote was a legitimate vote or not, & does so quite definitively as well. This again, still does not make it legal but cannot possibly be ignored by anyone of some basic ethics/morals. Nor, can one ignore the very harm that was being inflicted & threated to continue being inflicted on Crimeans by paramilitary irregular forces from Ukraine. Did Russia do what they did because the government was trying to help some suffering people out in the region? F-ck no, just like no other country's government acts on behalf of helping people who are suffering under whatever circumstances anywhere, ever. It just happens that in this scenario their self-interest aligned with what helped Crimeans so it was a PR bonus. Why do people have such a difficult time with any sort of objectivity on this type of sh-t. What Russia did was not legal & wasn't "right" per say, but it was less wrong than what the West did in carrying out a cover coup of the legitimate Ukrainian government via local collaborators in Ukraine & better than letting whatever would've happened to Crimeans had they remained in Ukraine given the violence & persecution that had been going ever since the coup against Ukrainians who were ethnically Russian which the majority in Crimea was & is (even more of whom speak Russian as their primary language.) So it was the least bad of the 2 options at the time, it would have of course been much better for none of this sh-t to ever happen in the first place, but I'm certainly not going to fret & complain about what Russia did in response to the coup we sponsored because while Russia did out their own self-interest it did in fact help protect Crimeans. Does that make Putin & the Russian government angels in the world f-ck no, there is plenty of sh-t one can legitimately complain about in terms of what they do at home & abroad... just like you can in the West.
Silent sufferings by Ukrainians. We pray for this great evil to be removed speedily and your perseverance to be an example. The free world supports you and condemned Putin.
@@baikorg im glad you get it. The annexation wasnt forced. The vote was in majority so russian occupied to defend crimeas legitimacy in that vote. Its unfortunate they were only now able to occupy donetsk and luhansk. So many independant people were slaughtered by ukraines gov
Each story hase two sides and its good to listen to both of them, but what happened in Crimea was planed years ago by ex Ukranian president and Russian government . Or to put in other words the Russian government was "advising" Janukovich for every military action in Ukraine, which left Ukraine in a sorry military state so when the time comes the Russian army wont encounter any opposition whatsoever. Thats why the Crimea was annexed in such a short time, becouse if you already want to join another country or form a new independant satate it takes a little bit more time to prepare a legitimate referendum, just look at Scotlands referendum . Which is why the percentage of joining Russia was high, becouse people that didnt like the referendum or didnt think it was legitimate didnt go to vote. We live in 21st century and when you see whats happening there at the moment makes you think that we are in 18th century where people were fighting for territory. I feel sorry for all the people that lost their lives on both sides so world leaders could feed their ego. I live in Europe and I am not saying its perfect , we are allso going through crisis ,but I dont think anyone is 100 % happy with their country,its just the way human beings are. But allso I am not afraid of someone invading my teritory , or becouse I said something gets me tortured or killed, which couldnt be said for areas that are pro russian occupied in Ukraine.
Its not an "Annexation" if the people who are being "Annexed" accept the "Annexing" Forces, dummy Look at them they happy become part of Russia, The People of Crimea have rights to decide their own future and they decide to become part of Russia (Republic of Crimea)
you realize Crimea and Donbass are two different areas right? i mean when Russia "Annex" Crimea there are only less than 5 Deaths, making it one of the most peaceful "Annexation" ever
A little preface: 1) Russia was baptized in Crimea in 988 by Vladimir the Great. Crimea is the spiritual root of Russia and these days it just came back home. 2) The word "Ukraine" in russian language means "borderland". The borderland of Russia. Ukraine has always been a territory of Russia and will remain so. 3) EU and US made a big mistake.
lol putin is a nut job and he is still hurt his hockey team lost in the olympics. he wants the ussr back cause he is a historian. his country is very weak. russia is weak
Darling, you are a lunatic. Or ignorant. There was no such thing like Russia 988. Vladimir the Great was baptized in Chersonesus and proceeded to baptize his family and people in Kiev. The latter events are traditionally referred to as baptism of Rus. Kiever Rus was not Russia, it was a Kingdom territorial identical with contemporary Ukraine. By the way: First documented in 1147, Moscow appeared on the scene 200 years after golden age of Kiever Rus. And Chersoneus was neither Ukrainian nor Russian - at the time it was Greek colony (for over thousand of years already.) And one another Thing: Ukraine means in polish language "borderland" as well. But it doesn't mean Ukraine is a part of Poland or belongs to.
Well, cause this documentary is clearly biased. They took several anti-russian figures prioritizing their opinion. Two of them were clear anti-russian figures and two were hidden figures being afraid of their future in Russia. They were polite and educated. Jokes on them, even they admitted that most of residents voted for joining Russia. Russians, on the other side, were complete opposite and frankly they were like "typical russian portrait" for what europeans and americans should think of russians: drunk hobo, drunk guys in uniform and old ladies. Plus the footage was taken in May, but aired in August. You can easily check that there are tourists in Crimea and everything is quite good, even better than it was before.
Jack Brown you need some super models and oligarchs to tell you how they are glad that crimea is now russia(they dont give a single fuck obviously). opinion of common folk is irrelevant and biased?
Kosovo is Serbia. 35% young kossovians unemployed. They are escaping their new country to find jobs. Exactly like polish people. Big plus for EU Ha ? Ukrainian want the same. The bankrupt country and fascists in power. Wonderful !!!
Sylwester Woodest kosovo is the same as the issue with crimea their are more percentage of russians in crimea showing it was russian but taken by ukrain so it should be russian. Same with kosovo their is 80 percent of ethnik albanians meaning its albanian and albanians have always been living there. Serbians stole it after ww1. Albania was split into 5 parts. 1 to greece, kosovo, presheva serbia and to macedonia.
Armend Shaquiri Serbians allowed Muslims to settle on Serbian land. Kosovo was never a part of Albania. Kosovians with help of Slick Willy Clinton stole this land from Serbia. Crimea was Russia. However it was given to Ukraine by soviet leader WITHOUT population concern. It was a mistake but it was corrected a year ago. URRA !!!
Crimea was annexed by Russia from the Ottomans in 1783. In 1954 it was given to Ukraine by Russia. That is 171 years. The Ottomans had it for over 300 years. Maybe Russia should give it to Turkey if you are using the number of years occupied as some sort of measuring tool. However, it belongs to Ukraine now.
The referendum conducted under Russian forces occupation in 2014 was a shame. Ethnic Tartars and other nationalities were deported. Then annexation followed.
Crimea as part of Ukraine was in a humiliating state, and the Crimean Tatars could not receive education in their own language and study their culture. Under Russia there have been tremendous improvements. If you don't believe me, come.
@@Grossadmiral_wowsb bruh. Crimea under ukraine is autonomous republic. So they are self declared which mena they have right of education, transportation and now during the invasion crimea tatar fought against russian agreesion. They love ukraine and they are ranked as the most nationalist people in ukraine.
The international community should be making sure that the Ukraine gets back every inch of its territory especially the areas that Putin has illegally occupied. Furthermore there should be monetary compensation, born by Russia, to all Ukrainian citizens for their losses as well as the rebuilding of the Ukraine.
Why? Their people voted in refferendums in crimea (which was occupied before it was even annexed due to a leasing deal of its ports between russia and ukraine) Donetsk and luhansk. Majority ruled they didnt want to be part of ukraine and to join russia. These people were long since persecuted and attacked by the ukrainian government and neo nazis such as azov and those it employed for going against ukrainian interests. Cease fires agreed to by ukraine after the independance of Donetsk and luhansk were constantly interupted by bombing from the ukrainian goverment. Ukraine is not a democracy. It appears to be by taking out any who go against it. Just look at current events and how many people zelensky has ousted for being pro russian. These people deserve compensation and freedom from ukraine. Its sick to see so many of us fall for ukrainian propaganda. Claims without much evidence coming from bias ukraine officials of russians committing war crimes? Media says it must be true or at least paints it out to be Claims and video proof of ukraine commiting war crimes not just in current events but in the years before are shrugged off. You hear things like "there will be an investigation" "Apparently russia claims..."

The Ukrainians are showing the world on how it’s done, all they are asking for right now are supplies and Ukrainians will are willing to put their lives on the line for freedom, something the West has seemingly forgotten.
It would be more accurate to say that the move was condemned by the United States and their allies. China and other BRICS countries as well as many other countries did not condemn the reunification of Russia and Crimea. In fact, China's strategic interests include reunification with Taiwan (in spite of US interests in the region), while India still sees the split of the former Greater India (and the establishment of Pakistan) as bad. So, using the term "international community" for "the US and their allies" is incorrect (if done unwittingly) or dishonest (if done on purpose). The West is not the whole world.
Putin is jealous of what Ukraine could become if it joined the EU, Putin cannot allow UKraine to move forward, he must hold it back at all costs. I support a free and independent Ukraine. 💙💛
I mean you have to point out that even though the annexing of Crimea from Ukraine was receiving badly from international view point. The locals seem to be really happy to join back with Russia. So should that be what's more important? The impact on the locals and if they happy then why is it a massive issue? I know there are Ukrainians who aren't keen. But they can still remain in what's still Ukraine. I know this was a strategic move by Russia. But the constant pressure from outside nations is what's really forcing their hand to get on the defensive so can we blame them?
Of course the reunion of Crimea to Russia is act of annexation, but that doesn't deny the fact that majority of local people wanted (and will be want) to stay with Russia. And this is key question to government of Ukraine - how they conducted their politics which led to this situation. After they had grabbed the power their first action - they canceled the law of local language (which even didn't work), they play up to nationalist groups and so on. They had obtained that they deserve.
Well, the people who went through the gift of Crimea to Ukraine are super old, and those who will be building Crimea's tomorrow know nothing about that era (other than what they can read in books and see on TV). It's not like they were making informed decisions, though I cant' say for sure.
Except about the little part about, *invasion* first, vote second. Firstly, what with Russia's "democracy" (www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2012/mar/05/russia-putin-voter-fraud-statistics), who says the election truthfully represented the people? And secondly, would you feel inclined to vote against something that has a gun pointed at you?
Bobby Fung You make an interesting point about the demographics of the situation, especially about what the Crimean youth are possibly reading in textbooks about the Soviet era, if at all. By now they're probably reading Russian texbooks, which Putin and his administration have been accused of leaving out, editing, and/or doctoring to put socialism and the USSR in a better light back in November of last year.
i only fear phobophobia If Russia didn't invasion situation in Crimea had been the same that in Donbass. And there is no one trustfully fact that vote really had been with "gun pointed at you". Do you not doubt that election the president of Ukraine had been without violation, despite of war in eastern Ukraine, is not it?
Крым был передан Украине в 1956 году незаконно, т.е. с нарушением законодательства Советского Союза. Если кто-то считает, что Крым передан России в 2014 году незаконно, тогда получается, как говорят в России, «Баш на Баш». Тогда скажите этому человеку, что вопрос исчерпан. Crimea was transferred to Ukraine in 1956 illegally, i.e. with violation of the legislation of the Soviet Union. If someone believes that the Crimea was transferred to Russia in 2014 illegally, then it turns out, as they say in Russia, “Bash on Bash”. Then tell this person that the question has been settled.

You just knew what was going to come out of that old lady's mouth lol
This hits different in 2022. I find myself drawn to these past news broadcasts and the more I watch the more I see how we have come to where we are now. I hope that there is a true golden age coming, as the woman in the video said. However, I hope that it does not come like this; With forced cooperation and fear.
we can see that Russia has other intentions.
Actually Putin's main goal is to want Ukraine's natural wealth. In 2012, abundant natural gas and oil reserves were found in eastern Ukraine, it's Crimea, Donbask, Luhansk, Donesk, and Moldova in western Ukraine.
that's why those parts of the territory that Russia really want to take are Crimea, Donbask, Luhansk, Donesk. And now they are closer to the western region of Ukraine as well, it's Moldova.
Now, observers of world politics are reading Russia's movements, what they suspect is true, Russia's main goal is to target this area that has the potential for natural gas and oil.
See.... that Crimea fell into Russia in 2014, but Russia ( Putin) was never satisfied with just one region, Putin also continued to rise up the rebellion he formed in Ukraine, and made the Ukrainian leader furious and inevitably sought refuge in NATO by joining NATO. because Ukraine feels unsafe to stand as an neutral country, Russia since 2000 after one year Putin became president of Russia continuously seized Ukraine territorial and Russia also supporting the rebellion in Ukraine to against the legitimate government in Ukraine. Ukraine will not choose to enter NATO if Russia as a neighboring country does not continue to seize Ukrainian territory. We can see the goals of the Russians rebellion it is to broke Ukrainan united and to seize the territory of Ukraine which has great natural potential.
Russia and Ukraina same as like North Korea dan South Korea. (Russia) as North Korea and South Korea (Ukraina) .
Most North Koreans choose to be South Koreans because they don't want to spend their whole life being North Korea, which is known as a country that adheres to the communist ideology capitalist .
If we hear Putin's statement saying that his invasion was only to keep Ukraine from entering Nato, why is Russia (Putin) also stealing and seizing the territory of this independent country. If the purpose of the invasion was only to keep Ukraine from entering Nato, Russia should not have stolen and taken this territory of Ukraine, which has been independent since 1991. Invaded the country already independent that's so wrong , what's more, Russia (Putin) has also stolen the territory of an independent country......
Look at how deceitful Russia, the dictator, has acted so recklessly. Crimea which has been a Russian federation since 2014, many of them now regret and want to return to Ukraine but it is not that easy anymore, because all the leaders in cremia are puppets of Russia and those who are pro-Ukraine are imprisoned or even killed. When Crimea entered Russia, many foreign businessmen broke away from Crimea and did not want to invest there. Crimea is known for its beautiful beaches, now there are no more tourists visiting there, because they are afraid to see the large number of Russian military in Crimea, Crimea is only the center of the Russian military and Russia is also free to mine Crimea gas and oil. That is the goal of Russia to control the natural wealth of Crimea, which is known as one of the regions that has the largest natural gas and oil wealth in the world.
We can see the different treatment that Russia did to Estonia and Latvia when they entered Nato in 2004. Putin, who has been be the President of Russia since 1999, doesn't even seem to hold Estonia and Latvia, even though if you look at these two countries, their position is same equal to Ukraine, which is in the middle between Nato and Russia. Estonia and Latvia are even closer to the Russian capital Moscow. These 2 former Soviet Union countries were not even invaded by Russia when they entered Nato. Why ??? because Estonia and Latvia do not have large natural resources to benefit Russia, so Russia (Putin) does not appear to be so adamant in defending these 2,,,,, WHILE Ukraine has very abundant natural potential, if Russia can seize it , it is very profitable for Russia. It could lift Russia into a country that has the largest natural wealth in the world. Likewise, the way their ancestors the Soviet Union taught Russia to dominate the world took away the natural wealth of other country and their federation, Enriched themself and made other poor inevitably depend on it. Thats why the Soviet Union collapsed before because of their selfish, greedy, corrupt, dictator, their union was broken and not harmonious because Russia as the leader of the Soviet Union at that time only enriched themself and could not be fair to the federation. See that's why most of them joined Nato instead of remaining part of the Soviet Union ( Russia)

Truth and justice will prevail in Ukraine, i have no doubts in that
They moved the indigenous Tartars out of Crimea immediately after WW2 to create the Russian dominated colony. Later it was moved to Ukraine because of geographic logic, Crimea has little fresh water.
Crimea suffered badly as an unrecognised sanctioned area, the Russian economy works for the well connected not ordinary people.
Furthermore the sanctions imposed in 2014 has clearly degraded Russian military capabilities.
@@RobBCactive it is a crime against humanity to purposefully block access to water to the population. North Crimean Canal is responsible for 85% of Crimeas water. People in Simferopol had only water for 4 hours per day !!!!
Not only that, but Ukraine also completely shut down all the electricity towards Crimea. That is why the Russian forces have captured the nuclear power plant in Energodar, they do not want to fire at the plant because they need it. It is Ukraine that is corrupt and sabotaging. Yeah, Soviet Union had some big problems, Stalin did horrific things, but Soviet Union is gone and the forced removal of Tatars happened 70-80 years ago. Putin is openly criticising Soviet Union and Lenin. The referendum in Crimea, 96% voted to join Russia. Do you know how many Tatars there are? 12% . Not every Tatar is an ukrainian patriot, this is a fact.
Watch "Ukraine on fire" by Oliver Stone, it was made in 2016 I believe, explains the 2014 coup to the details
Ukrainians are not the enemy of Russians - through out history Ukraine has never once ventured beyond its borders in aggression or tried to dominate and oppress its neighbours - same cannot be said for Russia
@@CharleenDoll - nonsense - every European country has the right to make its own decisions about NATO without the interference from Putin & his Russia - also, Russian language was never "outlawed" in Ukraine - under the existing constitution of Ukraine minorities have the right to speak their native language freely in Ukraine - the fact that Russian and Ukrainian are sister languages which are mutually understood there is no need for official Russian language in Ukraine in fact many Ukrainians speak in many dialects of Ukrainian, even Russian and Polish languages in Ukraine just like in Russia where you have over 300 different nationalities but Russians have one official Russian language so all you Russians simply brain washed full of propaganda childish nonsense and that is why the world is against you
@@majorrgeek are you for real???? We saw Poroshenko speech about russian minority in south eastern ukraine. And we know what happened later.
@@aliklili - you lying Russian refuse - there was never a Russian minority in Eastern Ukraine - you want to worry about the war crimes your idiot leader has caused and made you all the target of reprisal - we are all out to avenge the deaths of Ukrainians
we can see that Russia has other intentions.
Actually Putin's main goal is to want Ukraine's natural wealth. In 2012, abundant natural gas and oil reserves were found in eastern Ukraine, it's Crimea, Donbask, Luhansk, Donesk, and Moldova in western Ukraine.
that's why those parts of the territory that Russia really want to take are Crimea, Donbask, Luhansk, Donesk. And now they are closer to the western region of Ukraine as well, it's Moldova.
Now, observers of world politics are reading Russia's movements, what they suspect is true, Russia's main goal is to target this area that has the potential for natural gas and oil.
See.... that Crimea fell into Russia in 2014, but Russia ( Putin) was never satisfied with just one region, Putin also continued to rise up the rebellion he formed in Ukraine, and made the Ukrainian leader furious and inevitably sought refuge in NATO by joining NATO. because Ukraine feels unsafe to stand as an neutral country, Russia since 2000 after one year Putin became president of Russia continuously seized Ukraine territorial and Russia also supporting the rebellion in Ukraine to against the legitimate government in Ukraine. Ukraine will not choose to enter NATO if Russia as a neighboring country does not continue to seize Ukrainian territory. We can see the goals of the Russians rebellion it is to broke Ukrainan united and to seize the territory of Ukraine which has great natural potential.
Russia and Ukraina same as like North Korea dan South Korea. (Russia) as North Korea and South Korea (Ukraina) .
Most North Koreans choose to be South Koreans because they don't want to spend their whole life being North Korea, which is known as a country that adheres to the communist ideology capitalist .
If we hear Putin's statement saying that his invasion was only to keep Ukraine from entering Nato, why is Russia (Putin) also stealing and seizing the territory of this independent country. If the purpose of the invasion was only to keep Ukraine from entering Nato, Russia should not have stolen and taken this territory of Ukraine, which has been independent since 1991. Invaded the country already independent that's so wrong , what's more, Russia (Putin) has also stolen the territory of an independent country......
Look at how deceitful Russia, the dictator, has acted so recklessly. Crimea which has been a Russian federation since 2014, many of them now regret and want to return to Ukraine but it is not that easy anymore, because all the leaders in cremia are puppets of Russia and those who are pro-Ukraine are imprisoned or even killed. When Crimea entered Russia, many foreign businessmen broke away from Crimea and did not want to invest there. Crimea is known for its beautiful beaches, now there are no more tourists visiting there, because they are afraid to see the large number of Russian military in Crimea, Crimea is only the center of the Russian military and Russia is also free to mine Crimea gas and oil. That is the goal of Russia to control the natural wealth of Crimea, which is known as one of the regions that has the largest natural gas and oil wealth in the world.
We can see the different treatment that Russia did to Estonia and Latvia when they entered Nato in 2004. Putin, who has been be the President of Russia since 1999, doesn't even seem to hold Estonia and Latvia, even though if you look at these two countries, their position is same equal to Ukraine, which is in the middle between Nato and Russia. Estonia and Latvia are even closer to the Russian capital Moscow. These 2 former Soviet Union countries were not even invaded by Russia when they entered Nato. Why ??? because Estonia and Latvia do not have large natural resources to benefit Russia, so Russia (Putin) does not appear to be so adamant in defending these 2,,,,, WHILE Ukraine has very abundant natural potential, if Russia can seize it , it is very profitable for Russia.

@@riskaborneo843 - gas reserves of Ukraine rates 26th in the world and it has 1/46th of Russia's energy reserves so Ukraine could develop itself to become self sufficient but it does not compete with Russia nor is it the real cause behind Putin's war - Putin has simply gone mad with regaining Russian empire status to USSR which will not happen - the best thing Russia can do is get rid of him, join the world and upgrade Russia to a market economy with EU - this can only happen if Putin is removed and it is currently the best time for this motivation to become a reality

"An illegal referendum" - Crimea was an autonomous region in both the Soviet Union and in Ukraine. Actually, Crimea left USSR before Ukraine did and wanted to join Russia in 1991. To avoid a possible conflict, president Jeltsin allowed Ukraine to keep administrative control of Crimea as long as its autonomous rights were respected.
The referendum was legal and according to the international laws and UN charters of self-determination. It was issued by a lawfully elected autonomous government of Crimea and controlled by UN observers.
The only reason the USA and its allies are calling the referendum "illegal" is that they don't like the outcome.
If Crimea was "occupied" and "annexed" then where are the protests? Where are the "freedom fighters"? Where are the Russian occupying forces patrolling the streets? Those are the signs of an oppressive and occupying foreign force. Like the Americans in Iraq.
The American occupation of Iraq was wrong but so was the occupation of Crimea
@@reanimationeas342 I don't remember Iraq being a part of the USA or having 95% of American citizens living there. Or ever had a vote on being invaded. The parliament of Crimea asked for permanently stationed Russian Forces in Crimea for help. You call it an invasion, the Crimean population calls it freedom. Can you remind me who in Iraq asked for Americans to come and invade?
@@SlavicSpring The number of a specific ethnic group does not equal loyalty.
If you looked at polls in 2013, less than half of the population wanted to join Russia and that was without Russian soldiers in the area. In 2014 when the referendum took place, nearly all eligible voters choose independence and joining Russia? Most Crimean Tatars didn't participate. Many Ukrainian people and some Russians didn't participate. The Crimean prime minister was replaced by Russian forces and Pro-Russian separatists.
How were the referendum results accurate? Do you see something wrong or will you just call it propaganda?
@@reanimationeas342 Those are nice and great US propaganda "facts". Give me the polls from the UN observation committee. from Indian observers, you know, people without a political stake in Crimea. Where are those? Crimea was an autonomous area - autonomous with certain rights. One of those rights was to decide its own faith. Crimea wanted to be a part of Russia when they left the Soviet Union, but Yeltsin (read - USA) stopped them.
Instead of citing anti-Russian nonsense, how about you answer me about who invited the USA to Iraq?
And, if anything of your anti-Russian propaganda was even remotely right...where are the "freedom fighters" against Russia? Where are those poor, sad Tatars, fighting for, oh, so beautiful Ukrainian rule? I can tell you, they freaking HATE the Ukrainian government. Ukrainian mad and uncontrolled nationalism have removed all minority rights in Crimea. Now the right is back, because of the Russian Federations Constitution. Russians don't remove nations from their constitution as Ukrainians do.
Just read what you said, travel to Crimea - or look at videos from common people in Crimea, and you'll realize they are finally home. Ukrainian military left without the fuss because they went home...where they came from. West of Kiev.

Mr . Skokan
Thanks for speaking the truth.
The Crimea has been Russian well before there was a country called the Ukraine.. The British, French and Turks fought the Russians in the Crimea in the 1850s. I have been to the area, as a military history buff I went there to walk the battlefields of the Crimean War. Yet in spite of the short time I was there I noticed how pro-Russian the people are, they speak Russian and many consider themselves Russian not Ukrainian. Khruschev gave the Crimea to the Ukrainian SSR without consulting the people of the region, at that time it did not matter too much because the Ukraine and Russia were all one country back then, the USSR. But when the Ukraine became independent then it became an issue with many people of the Crimea crying out to be annexed by Russia. Without Russia's mostly bloodless take over it is very possible that a rising against Kiev could have broken out in the Crimea, starting an insurgency that could have gone on for years and cost thousands of lives. I am British and I back Russia all the way over the Crime
That Freudian slip at the end tho.
So if Mexico invaded the US and starts supporting terrorism in the US, and their reasoning is "California used to be part of Mexico and we're just reclaiming it!", you would back mexico "all the way over" the US? Probably not, huh..
What if the people were mostly mexican and wanted to be part of Mexico?

The referendum was NOT ilegal. Who exactly is the "international community"?
+Ancupola The referendum was NOT legal for several reasons: 1) Russian troops ILLEGALLY entered Crimea (then part of Ukraine) with hundreds of troops. Taking over government buildings and ordering the Ukrainian military to evacuate. This violated the 1994 Budapest Agreement, which Russia signed honouring Ukraine's territorial sovereignty. So right off the bat here, we have an illegal, foreign occupation, which used violence- 2 Ukrainian soldiers killed.2) The referendum was not sanctioned by Ukraine, as Crimea was still legally a part of it. Essentially, a foreign invasion force ordered a referendum without consent from Kiev.3) The referendum itself was a farce. It was hastily ordered, without time for real political debate- for example, there were no pro-Ukrainian opposition parties. Any Ukrainian attempts to protest were repressed, with people intimidated, attacked or imprisoned. Not to mention the huge amount of anti-Ukrainian propaganda, which depicted Ukrainians as Nazis. In short, it was an annexation- exactly the same thing happened to Austria under the Anschluss of 1938.

Дурень, ты живешь у себя в России и рассказываешь мне про то в чем я сам принимал участие. Рассказывая подобную чушь.
Начнем с того, что Янукович после своего избрания систематически нарушал Конституцию Украины. В Украинской Конституции единственным источником власти есть народ, а уже потом президенты, парламент и т.д. Если народ не согласен с действиями парламента или президента, он имеет право на протест и как нормальный президент Янукович должен был прислушаться к мнению народа, потому как он не царь в отличии от вашего Путина. Но Янукович поставил забор возле Верховной Рады и нагнал туда "беркут" который защищал Януковича и его Партию Регионов от гнева народного. Янукович продлил базирование ЧФ РФ в Крыму, хотя украинцы были против. И вот чем это обернулось сейчас. Попросту Янукович это 6-стёрка Путина. Он полностью прибрал все рычаги власти к своим рукам.
А уже осенью 2013 г. студенты вышли на майдан. После чего пришел "беркут" и разогнал этих студентов ударами дубинок по голове. Разбивая при этом головы безоружных людей. Попадало даже девушкам. Украинцы имели полное право свергнуть этого пидараса продающего Украину Путину. Украинцы имели полное право защищаться от мусоров-преступников, которые служили этому гандону! Украинский народ имел полное право после убийства мусорами людей хоть стрелять, хоть резать. Потому что украинский народ стоял за свое государство, а мусора стояли за пидараса который это государство разрушал!

Все дискуссии в Крыму заканчиваются фразой: "в России пенсия выше". Сюда многие годы приезжали военные отставники и пенсионеры и теперь их большинство в Крыму. Эти уроды выбрали не Россию а СССР, и отсутствие перспектив у детей и внуков на непризнанной территории их не волнует.
asvfm Чем стало хуже чем было?
XxLadrxX Мне проще ответить что стало лучше:
- пенсионерам действительно повысили пенсию, стоимость жизни правда выросла почти на столько же;
- бензин стал на 20% дешевле.
Ну как бы всё, в остальном одни проблемы, особенно для тех кто не сидит на печи а занят своим делом или просто реально работает.
asvfm законодательство поменялось - отсюда и проблемы как понимаю, как-то не убедительно, ну вот я дятел и не знаю что там происходит. Дай хотя бы три примера ухудшений. Ну мб фирмы всякие типа макдака ушли. Что теперь работать негде?
XxLadrxX Да перерегистрируют предприятия, не вопрос, и законодательство российское не сильно отличается от украинского. Но невозможно работать в современном мире фактически без транспорта (даже мост не спасет), полноценной банковской системы и зарубежных партнеров.
Из-за тупоголовых крымских властей так и не смогли договориться по водоснабжению, хотя нужно было лишь не упоминать слово "Россия" в договоре). В результате огромные титановый и содовый заводы встали, рисоводство перестало существовать. У меня в округе несколько заводов стоят и заменить заказчиков, поставщиков, профиль производства и наработанные связи не реально без огромных инвестиций, под санкции попадать нет желающих.
А ещё есть такая штука как патриотизм, вот представь что например твой город условно в России вдруг перешел к Беларуси. Вроде и отличий мало, но возникает невольный вопрос: "какого хера?".
asvfm Понятно. Ну про патриотизм - к Беларуси если присоединят - я не против) там говорят здорово. 60 лет назад тоже самое ведь было Россия передала Крым Украине. У всех был тот же вопрос "какого хера?". Со временем всё улеглось.
5:49 fr How crimea is Russia when You have Deported the entire population of Native Crimean tatars to central Asia. Like u have killed their entire Culture and history then claiming to be a crimean?? .
Crimea is Turkish
Tatars came to Crimea from Central Asia . Tatars are mongols
Crimea has gone back to it's motherland where it belongs.
Peace for crimea.

Two days back the bridge was opened.
@@AkashS97 When you posted this, the railway was opened. The bridge was already open for a while to cars and trucks before the train tracks were completed.
I am from Crimea myself. I was born in Sevastopol. I however lived in Ireland for the last 15 years but visited Crimea during summers. Watching this sickens me. Crimean people today with its pro-Russian feelings and "patriotism", their love for Putin and Soviet Union really reminds me of the modern day North Koreans. These people live a lie and a fantasy. They are in shit and lovin it. But they don't know that. They will never know.
They know now and it's not the Soviet Union today, becoming some place worse under Putin.
А на каких основания Хрущов подарил Крым Украине? Только потому что он жил в Украине, и решил подарить Крым в 1954 году, Украине!? За какие заслуги, делались такие подарки! У Беларуси оттяпали Беласток и подарили полякам, а Вильнюс подарили Прибалтике, за какие такие заслуги, беларусские земли дарили непонятно кому!
I mean honestly both sides on this issue make pretty f-cking absurd statements/arguments. Is what Russia did legal? No, of course not. But, it's also illegal to carry out a covert armed coup in a country as well disposing of the legally elected President so, the West doesn't have any room to talk on this issue as they were the first ones in this country to carry out an illegal act (& that specifically limits things to actions to solely what happened in Ukraine... we won't even go into actions elsewhere.) That doesn't make it what Russia did legal still, but it certainly should make people not listen when the West whines about Russia's illegal behavior in taking Crimea.
Secondly, they did carry out a referendum in Crimea for people to express what they wanted to happen. Now the west dismissed the whole thing as a sham, but the polling done in Crimea a year after the referendum which found almost identical results to the referendum & was done by western polling companies from the U.S. & Germany seems to answer whether or not the vote was a legitimate vote or not, & does so quite definitively as well. This again, still does not make it legal but cannot possibly be ignored by anyone of some basic ethics/morals. Nor, can one ignore the very harm that was being inflicted & threated to continue being inflicted on Crimeans by paramilitary irregular forces from Ukraine.
Did Russia do what they did because the government was trying to help some suffering people out in the region? F-ck no, just like no other country's government acts on behalf of helping people who are suffering under whatever circumstances anywhere, ever. It just happens that in this scenario their self-interest aligned with what helped Crimeans so it was a PR bonus. Why do people have such a difficult time with any sort of objectivity on this type of sh-t. What Russia did was not legal & wasn't "right" per say, but it was less wrong than what the West did in carrying out a cover coup of the legitimate Ukrainian government via local collaborators in Ukraine & better than letting whatever would've happened to Crimeans had they remained in Ukraine given the violence & persecution that had been going ever since the coup against Ukrainians who were ethnically Russian which the majority in Crimea was & is (even more of whom speak Russian as their primary language.)
So it was the least bad of the 2 options at the time, it would have of course been much better for none of this sh-t to ever happen in the first place, but I'm certainly not going to fret & complain about what Russia did in response to the coup we sponsored because while Russia did out their own self-interest it did in fact help protect Crimeans. Does that make Putin & the Russian government angels in the world f-ck no, there is plenty of sh-t one can legitimately complain about in terms of what they do at home & abroad... just like you can in the West.

Pity u dont understand the message of the video.. the people of crimea voted for russia
@@baikorg im glad you get it. The annexation wasnt forced. The vote was in majority so russian occupied to defend crimeas legitimacy in that vote. Its unfortunate they were only now able to occupy donetsk and luhansk. So many independant people were slaughtered by ukraines gov
Others suffered silently for a century under so called ukranians so what's your point?
No dear intelligent people know which side they are certainly not where you are
A golden age will come to Russia.i really don’t think it’s going to happen
Each story hase two sides and its good to listen to both of them, but what happened in Crimea was planed years ago by ex Ukranian president and Russian government . Or to put in other words the Russian government was "advising" Janukovich for every military action in Ukraine, which left Ukraine in a sorry military state so when the time comes the Russian army wont encounter any opposition whatsoever.
Thats why the Crimea was annexed in such a short time, becouse if you already want to join another country or form a new independant satate it takes a little bit more time to prepare a legitimate referendum, just look at Scotlands referendum .
Which is why the percentage of joining Russia was high, becouse people that didnt like the referendum or didnt think it was legitimate didnt go to vote.
We live in 21st century and when you see whats happening there at the moment makes you think that we are in 18th century where people were fighting for territory.
I feel sorry for all the people that lost their lives on both sides so world leaders could feed their ego.
I live in Europe and I am not saying its perfect , we are allso going through crisis ,but I dont think anyone is 100 % happy with their country,its just the way human beings are.
But allso I am not afraid of someone invading my teritory , or becouse I said something gets me tortured or killed, which couldnt be said for areas that are pro russian occupied in Ukraine.
Lets forget the Euromaidan which eastern Ukraine protested about and was shutdown by Azov battalion...

Its not an "Annexation" if the people who are being "Annexed" accept the "Annexing" Forces, dummy
Look at them they happy become part of Russia, The People of Crimea have rights to decide their own future and they decide to become part of Russia (Republic of Crimea)
fucking western nation with their Propaganda keep feeding the world with lies
I Know Right.
If everyone was happy to be part of Russia, would this even be an issue? Would there be any fighting? No, there wouldn't. You're a small-minded idiot.
you realize Crimea and Donbass are two different areas right? i mean when Russia "Annex" Crimea there are only less than 5 Deaths, making it one of the most peaceful "Annexation" ever
Chuck D that's because the EU and US won't mind their own buisness
I pity the people who think it's a good decision.
As an outsider. This documentary video was in 2014.
I like to know if the war 2022 possibly changes anything.
A little preface:
1) Russia was baptized in Crimea in 988 by Vladimir the Great. Crimea is the spiritual root of Russia and these days it just came back home.
2) The word "Ukraine" in russian language means "borderland". The borderland of Russia. Ukraine has always been a territory of Russia and will remain so.
3) EU and US made a big mistake.
lol putin is a nut job and he is still hurt his hockey team lost in the olympics. he wants the ussr back cause he is a historian. his country is very weak. russia is weak
They have a right to change their leadership and direction.
Darling, you are a lunatic. Or ignorant. There was no such thing like Russia 988. Vladimir the Great was baptized in Chersonesus and proceeded to baptize his family and people in Kiev. The latter events are traditionally referred to as baptism of Rus. Kiever Rus was not Russia, it was a Kingdom territorial identical with contemporary Ukraine. By the way: First documented in 1147, Moscow appeared on the scene 200 years after golden age of Kiever Rus. And Chersoneus was neither Ukrainian nor Russian - at the time it was Greek colony (for over thousand of years already.)
And one another Thing: Ukraine means in polish language "borderland" as well. But it doesn't mean Ukraine is a part of Poland or belongs to.
And the Greeks could make a better historical claim to Crimea than Russia could
Why everybody calls Vice biased? elaborate pls
***** /watch?v=0SWEC4uJMoQ this is a good news coverage by your standards
Well, cause this documentary is clearly biased.
They took several anti-russian figures prioritizing their opinion. Two of them were clear anti-russian figures and two were hidden figures being afraid of their future in Russia. They were polite and educated. Jokes on them, even they admitted that most of residents voted for joining Russia.
Russians, on the other side, were complete opposite and frankly they were like "typical russian portrait" for what europeans and americans should think of russians: drunk hobo, drunk guys in uniform and old ladies.
Plus the footage was taken in May, but aired in August. You can easily check that there are tourists in Crimea and everything is quite good, even better than it was before.
When Russian's know what their government is doing is wrong they yell bias
Jack Brown just read crimean forums, there is no tourists at all
Jack Brown you need some super models and oligarchs to tell you how they are glad that crimea is now russia(they dont give a single fuck obviously). opinion of common folk is irrelevant and biased?
CRIMEA IS RUSSIA ! URRA!!
Crimea is russia, so, kosovo is not serbia, right?
Kosovo is Serbia. 35% young kossovians unemployed. They are escaping their new country to find jobs. Exactly like polish people.
Big plus for EU Ha ? Ukrainian want the same. The bankrupt country and fascists in power. Wonderful !!!
Sylwester Woodest kosovo is the same as the issue with crimea their are more percentage of russians in crimea showing it was russian but taken by ukrain so it should be russian. Same with kosovo their is 80 percent of ethnik albanians meaning its albanian and albanians have always been living there. Serbians stole it after ww1. Albania was split into 5 parts. 1 to greece, kosovo, presheva serbia and to macedonia.
Armend Shaquiri Serbians allowed Muslims to settle on Serbian land. Kosovo was never a part of Albania. Kosovians with help of Slick Willy Clinton stole this land from Serbia. Crimea was Russia. However it was given to Ukraine by soviet leader WITHOUT population concern. It was a mistake but it was corrected a year ago. URRA !!!
That makes no sence why would the majotiry be albanian. What happenend to serbian population in kosovo.
Russia fought & defended Crimea against Ottomans, French, British etc for so many centuries. Russian blood was poured in every inch of this land
Crimea was annexed by Russia from the Ottomans in 1783. In 1954 it was given to Ukraine by Russia. That is 171 years. The Ottomans had it for over 300 years. Maybe Russia should give it to Turkey if you are using the number of years occupied as some sort of measuring tool. However, it belongs to Ukraine now.
@@roverboat2503

The referendum conducted under Russian forces occupation in 2014 was a shame. Ethnic Tartars and other nationalities were deported. Then annexation followed.

The international community should be making sure that the Ukraine gets back every inch of its territory especially the areas that Putin has illegally occupied. Furthermore there should be monetary compensation, born by Russia, to all Ukrainian citizens for their losses as well as the rebuilding of the Ukraine.

Keep dreaming
Why? Their people voted in refferendums in crimea (which was occupied before it was even annexed due to a leasing deal of its ports between russia and ukraine) Donetsk and luhansk. Majority ruled they didnt want to be part of ukraine and to join russia. These people were long since persecuted and attacked by the ukrainian government and neo nazis such as azov and those it employed for going against ukrainian interests. Cease fires agreed to by ukraine after the independance of Donetsk and luhansk were constantly interupted by bombing from the ukrainian goverment. Ukraine is not a democracy. It appears to be by taking out any who go against it. Just look at current events and how many people zelensky has ousted for being pro russian. These people deserve compensation and freedom from ukraine. Its sick to see so many of us fall for ukrainian propaganda. Claims without much evidence coming from bias ukraine officials of russians committing war crimes?
Media says it must be true or at least paints it out to be
Claims and video proof of ukraine commiting war crimes not just in current events but in the years before are shrugged off. You hear things like "there will be an investigation"
"Apparently russia claims..."

The international community wasn't unhappy about it, mostly only their governments. Crimeans are doing well.
It would be more accurate to say that the move was condemned by the United States and their allies. China and other BRICS countries as well as many other countries did not condemn the reunification of Russia and Crimea. In fact, China's strategic interests include reunification with Taiwan (in spite of US interests in the region), while India still sees the split of the former Greater India (and the establishment of Pakistan) as bad. So, using the term "international community" for "the US and their allies" is incorrect (if done unwittingly) or dishonest (if done on purpose). The West is not the whole world.

Of course the reunion of Crimea to Russia is act of annexation, but that doesn't deny the fact that majority of local people wanted (and will be want) to stay with Russia. And this is key question to government of Ukraine - how they conducted their politics which led to this situation. After they had grabbed the power their first action - they canceled the law of local language (which even didn't work), they play up to nationalist groups and so on. They had obtained that they deserve.
Well, the people who went through the gift of Crimea to Ukraine are super old, and those who will be building Crimea's tomorrow know nothing about that era (other than what they can read in books and see on TV). It's not like they were making informed decisions, though I cant' say for sure.
Except about the little part about, *invasion* first, vote second.
Firstly, what with Russia's "democracy" (www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2012/mar/05/russia-putin-voter-fraud-statistics), who says the election truthfully represented the people? And secondly, would you feel inclined to vote against something that has a gun pointed at you?
Bobby Fung You make an interesting point about the demographics of the situation, especially about what the Crimean youth are possibly reading in textbooks about the Soviet era, if at all. By now they're probably reading Russian texbooks, which Putin and his administration have been accused of leaving out, editing, and/or doctoring to put socialism and the USSR in a better light back in November of last year.
i only fear phobophobia If Russia didn't invasion situation in Crimea had been the same that in Donbass. And there is no one trustfully fact that vote really had been with "gun pointed at you". Do you not doubt that election the president of Ukraine had been without violation, despite of war in eastern Ukraine, is not it?
Dmitry Lecter If Russia didn't invade, there wouldn't no situation in the Donbass. Or have you forgotten what was the first
Крым был передан Украине в 1956 году незаконно, т.е. с нарушением законодательства Советского Союза. Если кто-то считает, что Крым передан России в 2014 году незаконно, тогда получается, как говорят в России, «Баш на Баш». Тогда скажите этому человеку, что вопрос исчерпан.
Crimea was transferred to Ukraine in 1956 illegally, i.e. with violation of the legislation of the Soviet Union. If someone believes that the Crimea was transferred to Russia in 2014 illegally, then it turns out, as they say in Russia, “Bash on Bash”. Then tell this person that the question has been settled.
