why did putin attack in the first place? the crisis in ukraine should not matter to him, it's not his country to get involved
@@adamsicmundus3566
it's because UKRAINE wanted to join the NATO alliance which is the enemy of the Soviet union.

Side note Ukraine gave Russia nukes not only for promise to respect Ukrainian sovereignty, but because they couldn’t afford to maintain them , as well as the control lunch codes were located in Russia.
I think they were still given in good faith because they could've just not given them at all
@@katara4955 well not rly, general public at the time was against having them , as well as reasons mentioned above
@@sy466 well what Katara trying to say it could have been in good faith which I say it was a little of both . I’m sure there are intelligent Ukrainians that could have dismantled a few warheads. If Russia complained they could say look in your own background.. and bribery is everywhere even here in the states. I’m just saying friend you don’t know and neither do I .unless you have first hand knowledge that we don’t have?
Ukraine as part of the agreement promised to not target and victimize Russian speaking people who lived in Ukraine !
Ukraine broke the agreement in 2014 when they passed anti-Russian language laws !
Ukraine has effectively passed Jim Crow laws ! And the EU and NATO support that shiet !
Russia wouldn’t have invaded a sovereign country if it had Nuclear weapons.
Thank you very much for explaining the Ukraine and Russian situation. Now I have a better understanding about the current history of the situation between the two countries. You have a very good way of explaining and making people understand. Thank you for the clarification and the time that you took to spend on research. Keep up the good work and thank you.
This is an amazing way to understand thank you

While you were given a better understanding, TRT failed to mention that the coup in 2014 had CIA fingerprints all over it. Russia is protecting itself from the United States and its allies that seek to place nuclear missiles in Ukraine that can reach Moscow in 5 minutes. Russia doesn't occupy or invade the countries of the world. It only interferes when threats around its border become evident. The U.S. and its allies on the other hand have been poking the big Bear for years as well as invaded over a dozen defenseless countries in the last 20 years exploiting their natural resources and killing over one million innocent men, women, and children. One has to rethink who is the real threat to the sovereign nations of the world.
Maybe you should add the USA influence in the conflict to have a more balance historical view,
Yeah why is the US role being ignored
I agree... Victoria Nuland said U.S. spent 5 billion dollars to change the Ukrainian governament (the regularly elected - pro-Russia - Yanukovich escaped). U.S. has been sending weapons to Ukraine for 8 years (not just 3 weeks) and Ukraine (first Poroshenko, then Zelensky) used them to bomb civilians in the Donbass region for 8 years!!

Why didn’t you mention that since Crimea became part of the Russian Empire in late 18th century, it was always a russian territory untill 1954 when Krusciov in one night decided to give it to Ukraine?
exactly!
Why mention something that is irrelevant? If I buy a car, own it for 20 years then sell it to somebody that people owns it for 2 years I don't get to use my old key to take it out of their driveway at night then claim that since i owned it historically I have a right to take it by force today... It stopped being Russia when Russia gave it to Ukraine, everyone including the Russians until they launched their revisionist campaign agreed to that. Hence why Russia needed a lease from ukraine to have a military base there.
@@sinco2179 My example is solid given your pretty much reused it, just adding irrelevant emotional fluffery. No documentation? The 1954 transfer was the result via formal written decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet, they literally had to amend the Russian Constitution of 1937 and the 1937 Constitution of the Ukrainian SSR to reflect the change in borders. Stealing a classic car from someone who now owns it doesn't make it any less theft just because you owned it for 70 years instead of 20.

One thing ive learned over the past few years with big tech and everything being political...theres always two sides of the story and their both bias explanations
Usa making sure u only hear the way they want it to sound...all lies
Well done, you're becoming wiser.
Omg! Why is it anytime there is an international crisis, at the root of it its always oil or a gas pipeline?
too simplified, losing many aspects of historical truth: Krym had been for 300 centuries part of Russia (not Ukraine), and just from 1954 even against the USSR law itself was just "given" o Ukraine by soviet (not Russian!) leader Chrushhcev (himself an Ukrainian). In 2013 USA offered to Ukraine to pay more for the port of Sevastopol and to make its military base instaed of Russia. Krymeans and Russia were afraid of such future. The 2014 referendum to rejoin Russia was for Krymeans a long before awaited dream. Let´s just be in their skin. How could they feel after 2014 unconstutional violent coup d´ettat when nazi-like "Right sector" took power, outlawed Russian language and attacked in Odessa (burning alive tenths of Russian speaking citizens) etc. You are lying when you say: "more than 10 000 people were killed by Russia-backed separatists." - the killed people are directly mostly those "Russia-backed separatists", i.e. ethnic Russians living n that region for centuries. 1.5 milions of citizens fled from Donbass to Russia and more than 10 000 were really killed by Ukrainian nationalist "Azov battalion" and "Right sector" forces, because they were opposed the new nationalist goverenment backed by the US. So in your video there is not "EVERYTHING" we need know, just SOMETHING you want us to know. Very unilateral, unballanced in explaining the Krymean conflict. As for gas it is really short but good explained.

this is only half of the truth.

Not to talk about the fact that they want to punish Russia because of interfering in the Syrian "change of regime".
We only here 1 side of the story. That's the result of having centralized media controlling what version of the story is the "official" story. Only a handful of media corporations own almost all media around the world. That's part of the problem. Anyone who doesn't believe that is an idiot with a voice, exactly what the West want. Idiot slaves.

sent forces to Crimea? I thought they already have a huge military base in there...
Yes, it was. Cremea was protected by Russia military. Crimeans were supporting the soldiers while the mad Ukro Nazi were killing their own people in other parts of neo Ukraine after the Junta came to power, and relied upon them like their protectors. Crimean ladies were bringing them their own home pies. Crimeans always have been free-spirited people, beautiful and brave, Russian-speaking and Russian-thinking. They are still crying tears of happiness that Crimea got accepted back to Russia.
@@gloriousrussia7515 "Crimeans crying tears of happiness" Said no one ever.. Anyone reading your arrogant writings can see you're just a Russian propaganda troll. The Crimean Tartars have mostly fled. The rest keep to themselves in the Crimean mountains. Russian tourism accounts for 85% of the visitors but everyone knows they don't spend much money and do not tip well. So Crimean residents continue to suffer. Russia was suppose to respect Ukraine after the Non-Proliferation agreement which made the world a far safer place. I'm in Ukraine, I know better.
@theater of souls Yes Russia had about 11,000 troops stationed in Crimea prior to the invasion. Most of these troops were naval and logistical support with the exception of 2000 Russian combat marine units. Prior to the invasion "little green men" Spetsnaz and FSB agents were strategically placed to disrupt regional command and control. This was in coordination with the extraction of the Russian puppet Ukrainian ex-president Yanukovych.
@@ZDriver1996 Facts, are NOT propaganda...Not like western governments and western MSM. Tell me something...putting to one side the claim that Russia, more or less invaded Crimea, what other country has Russia, invaded in recent times (not the OLD USSR, not Russia today ? Then ask the same question of countries in the west ? How Many countries has the USA, invaded ? I am not pro or anti Russian, but I do like looking at all sides of the same question. No one doubts the vote took place, no one doubts the results. The west needs an enemy..to sell weapons...Russia, is it..though they have made no thread to any country in its part of the world. Russia, is so dangerous, Germany, buys fuel from it..as do other EU, countries. Why would any country buy much needed fuel, from an enemy. They are only the enemy when it fits western rhetoric. The only sabre rattling is from the west.
@@jackcummings4121 "other countries Russia invaded? Easy, Georgia 2008 .I flew into Kyiv 3 years ago to bring supplies to one of the combat medics. 1 of the topics we spoke of was the 5 day Russo-Georgian war and his role during that invasion. Listen I don't trust Western MSM, thats why I actually fly to these countries, and put my feet on the ground and take a look for myself. Ukraine I've grown to love and return 1-2 times every year. I also don't have ill feelings towards Russians though I have noticed a higher level of arrogance in general from my dealings with them in SE Asia and Eastern Europe. On the subject of Crimea, the fact is that the vote took place under military/FSB watch. Those who resisted were not treated well. Some of the people did want Russia while some wanted too stay with Ukraine. But the fact is, the referendum did not allow them to Vote to stay with Ukraine. Only to become independent or become part of Russia. If the referendum was actually legal in accordance with International Law, then Russia should be holding a referendum in Chechnya as well. But they wont.. If I were Russia I'd take Crimea since it is a defendable location once seized, cuts off 1/2 of ukraine's ports which would normally be used to supply arms to Eastern forces which they are at War with. As far as Germany buying fuels from an enemy. Thats like saying America won't buy goods from China which we know we do even though we are at corporate/cyber warfare with them and they stated publicly they want to replace America as the world power by 2050. Economically replace America by 2025. Tying economics together can help avoid war, but it can also split and weaken alliances which Russia is doing to the EU but some members of the EU are choosing to do so. The West is by no means innocent, and I have no illusions of this as I've lived outside the United States for 1/2 of my life. That being said, for now, the West, and the US are still the best overall for freedom and standard of living.
Whats Strange to me was that Stalin Who hated Ukraine, Was not Russian, but Georgian.
Valeriy Shishkin Да
Yanukovich was a decoy that when he eventually fled it made Ukrainians feel liberated again and thus celebrations provided a perfect backdraft for Russia to quietly annex Crimea. It was a beautiful yet evil chess move.
people all over the world - unite against putin
The comments seem to allude to a bunch of information being left out of just plain wrong in this video. Can anyone reasonably informed on this conflict explain?
*logicbomb007* totally agree!
@ Do you know why they owned crimea? And they historical context? If u do know you wouldnt say that stupid things
how about you! what's your take on it
If there is anything in the world that is no business of the US it is the relationship between the former Soviet state of Ukraine and Russia. These two countries are like Jack and Jill. Their cooperation or non-cooperation is their own affair. If Russia absorbs Ukraine, the life of the Ukrainian people will hardly change for better or worse. Ukraine was part of Russian Empire for centuries. It is no catastrophe if it is again. The Ukrainian government is desperately cozying up to the West trying them to defend Ukrainian independence solely because THEY are the ones out of job if Putin annexes the country. Why should the West care if Ukrainian politicians are out of work? The life of the people goes on same as before.
Let's get real here. Putin is not Stalin. There is not going to be any mass murders and forced relocations in Ukraine to cities in Siberia. No death camps. Putin may not be as fun to live with as Yeltsin, but he is not even as bad as Brezhnev. The idea that the West has to protect Ukraine because Putin will invade Poland is based on sheer fantasy.
Excellent! So much involved, it’s hard to follow but much clearer now. I don’t see an easy, peaceful solution.
It won't be easy because they are dealing with people and their emotions. Logically speaking. Ukraine should vote as a nation on what they want to do (since they're a democracy?)
I always thought Ukraine was part of Russia 😅

I can clearly remember when Ukr gave its nuclear arsenal to Russia and thinking "that's a dumb move". Best thing you should do if you live in one of those strategically pivotal border countries is to move somewhere else.
The proper term is African-European Sea
The thing is, most of those reports are one sided. Im not here to backup russians, but every nation has its own national geopolitical interests. And as u see how USA acted the last 20 years in eastern europe, its mostly just an answer. Syria and crimea are important strategic havens for the russian military and it got threaten, so it defends itself in that manner. And beside that, look at the economic standpoint, what would beneftit ukraine more, joining the EU or joining the eurasion union. Where is the export of ukraine going and so on. Nevertheless, most reports about ukraine are totally onesided, if its from the russians or the west, doesnt matter. peace
Yes, I have also been troubled by Western media press bias, usually against Russia. Yes, as some noted, history is critical. And often, Stalin is brought into the picture, the Western hammer to backup historical Western fear of Russia (and the CCP). Russia has always been attacked historically. And Russian people suffered. The West is no angel in this. Through NATO, it has indirectly threatened Russia with expensive logistical and tactical policies for decades. So Russia has been uneasy. The Ukraine has been deeply corrupt for decades. Yet this has been overlooked. The other issue is that a sizeable number of Ukrainians have deep connections to Russia, despite Stalin. Sure, there are Ukrainians who loathe Russia. Yet one cannot ignore those Ukrainians who are connected to Russia. By the way, Western press is the one that is pushing for war by citing pro-Western sources....stranger than fiction, Humanity keeps getting it wrong...

Russia is world bad guy
Sorry but you appear to have missed the important part. For sure Russia is building a pipeline that will bypass Ukraine, however you neglected to mention its Russia to Germany Nord Stream 2. The Germans have signed the deal with Russia, the Pipeline is being built and the EU is very happy with the deal.
The fact the EU is happy with the deal that puts the EU's member states energy security in the hands of Russia, would tell most people the EU trusts Russia, and does not trust Ukraine.
With Trump having little interest in Ukraine, and the EU no having little interest in Ukraine, its becoming apparent the EU was in fact being forced by the Obama administration to support Ukraine, and bring them into the European Union despite many member states being opposed to Ukraine joining.
@Yakav8r55m Your right, but I don't think its really about the pipe for Russia. They WANT Ukraine. In other words they wanna take Ukraine over to make them join Russia. And same with the other countries around it. Thats why there troops in Ukraine too. Causing many conflicts with the Ukrainaian soldiers.
Not quite that simple. EU still welcomes Ukraine and the discussions regarding pumping gas BACK to Ukraine from the German pipeline to cut the Ukrainian dependence on Russia were had many times. The rest I agree with. There's been a grab to essentially passively grab power surrounding Russia (old Soviet buffer nations) to help put pressure on Russia to bend when needed/wanted. US set up militarily all over the place in Eastern Europe, very quietly, when this all started through operation Atlantic resolve. Trump isn't as interested as Obama, sec. Clinton and McCain were, however, in this power grab.
@Yakav8r55m No they should import American LNG for double the price like Poland right ? That would be much better : D
The idea that the EU isn’t backing Ukraine…well your comment seems to be absolute rubbish friend.
All for 24 billion dollars!
Thank you for this, well explained! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Not even one word about ukraina forbiden russian language. That wrong . But i agree about nukes
Because there was never such thing as Ukraine forbidding Russian language. Maybe that's why :)
Also, let's remember the historic hatred of and abuse by Stalin in regards to the Ukraine.
So much so, that during the early days of WW2, many Ukrainians saw the Nazi's as liberators.
And how this hatred today in modern western Ukraine is projected onto the Russian state/culture.
What's most ironic about this hatred is Stalin was not Russian.
Stalin was from Georgia.
Good point. Many Hungarians felt the same, they hated the Nazi's but saw them as better than the Russians. My family fled to Germany and grandparents eventually made it to the US to start a family.

Okay, back up the timeline a bit. Much of Ukraine actually was Russia before USSR. Even further back, Kiev is actually the birthplace of Russia. There have been ethnic Russians there long before USSR. During dissolution a formal deal was struck, land was gifted to Ukraine, and Russia continued to use the naval port there. It's also important to cover the conflict regarding natural gas. Since it's not covered here, please research Ukraine falling behind on what they owed (I won't say it was stolen, but... it was stolen). This gave birth to worldwide grab to get Russian buffer nations, Ukraine in particular here, to begin going with the EU and possibly having gas BACK PUMPED through to Ukraine from Germany, or US liquefying it and bringing it in on tankers, OR attempting to begin extracting its own nat. gas for itself. Because God forbid Ukraine make it right and force criminals to pay it back. Ukraine said piss off to EU once they went over fine print of inclusion and control. In comes euromaidan, the violent coup which US fully supported, look up SVOBODA and McCain. Svoboda btw was ALWAYS ethnic (Ukrainian Slav) nationalist and anti Semitic. There are hundreds of moving pieces here and it's very complex. This breakdown missed quite a bit.
What coup? Svoboda got 2,6% in last elections, it has a ONE, a one deputy in the parliament.
Muscovy is not Russia, when "Kievian" Ruś was briefly united the area of Moscow was populated by Muroms or Mordvins, ugro Finnic people.
No land was "gifted" to Ukraine in 1991, if anything it was "gifted" in 1918 Brest-Litovsk treaty, in 1920s during creation of Ukrainian SSR, 1939 during nazi-soviet invasion of Poland and 1954 (Crimea).
It was the Ukrainian teritory by each and every bilateral and international agreement anyay. Until Russia invaded in 2014, annexed Crimea and made a proxy war about some "New Russia". Ukraine would even defend itself and drive the invaders out if Russia did not send even more supplies, offciers and soldiers to Debaltseve.

Ruś were the Swedish vikings (Varangians), the Slavs were organized in different tribes and the tribe which populated Kiev (Polans) was ruled by the Khazars before Varangians conquered it. There was no "Kievian" Ruś before, it was a set of separate tribes and even under Variangians they were rebelling, Drevlans even killed a one Varangian ruler. Ruś was never really united.
As for Moscow it's true, at that time the area was populated by the Ugro-Finnic Muroms or Mordvins, the name Moscow is not Slavic. Only later Slavs arrived in the area and established trading post on the river Moskva, about 300 years after baptism.
Rulers of Moscow reformed their language many times, the same can be said about the Statutes of Lithuania, so more or less Belarussian language, it was different already in 16 century.
According to Google.... UKRAINE WHO?........
Beautiful & thoroughly researched presentation. Thank you sir
But not entirely correct.
He left out CRITICAL DETAILS about foreign interference in the Euromaidan Revolution.
Explained badly showing only one side, desinformation
Stopped watching at 2:40. Too many distortions. If you want to know what happened there this is not the place.
I’m thinking this is a very over simplified explanation but missing some context and nuance. This goes much deeper than 6 minutes.
Thank you so much for this explanation!!
I'm guessing dividing Ukraine is not possible. Half NATo and half Russia.
Kosovo is Serbia, Crimea is Russia. That's just how things are..
Ukraine must realize that america is just using them.........
Russia also
as for the 2014 crimean referendum, " ... Gallup conducted an immediate post-referendum survey of Ukraine and Crimea and published their results in April 2014. Gallup reported that, among the population of Crimea, 93.6% of ethnic Russians and 68.4% of ethnic Ukrainians believed the referendum result accurately represents the will of the Crimean people. Only 1.7% of ethnic Russians and 14.5% of ethnic Ukrainians living in Crimea thought that the referendum results didn't accurately reflect the views of the Crimean people ..."
so as for, "...a referendum at gunpoint ", laughable
Almost all Crimean people are very happy to stay with Russia. It's a fact and it's easy to explain: Ukraine is getting more and more a nazi country.
Shame about the map illustration of Europe suggesting Belarus is part of the European community and NATO.
I do recall a gallon of gasoline in the US dropping from $4.30 to $1.70 during that time.
Its called "stealing resourses".
There was a massive drop around that time. But the reason was Iran at the time flooding the market after they signed their deal that Trump burned to the ground.
the background music is really distracting
Thank you for explaining this I know its a whole lot more detailed but at least now I have some understanding
Ukraine should have swap nuclear weapon had to return to Russia for NATO membership 1995. Never trust peace treaties. Peace through strength.
Great video but I am still very confused by all this.
Correct, this is a shameless lies like everything coming from the USA with support of dirthy bloody Washington money.
BGivka, All you have to do is look at ALL the countries that have or try to flee Russian/Soviet control. Lithuania, Latvia, Moldova, Romania, Estonia, etc etc, and now Ukraine. Georgia tried to break free and Russia invaded to restore Pro-Russian Government. When Russia tried to do that to Ukraine, Ukraine fought back. I spoke to the soldiers who fought with the Russians during the Russo-Georgian war who would later fight against the Russians in the Donbass region during the beginning of that conflict. Ukraine revolted against the Russian Puppet president and Russia invaded in attempt to secure its control. Some in the east do want to be part of Russia as with any war you have people on 2 sides. You can just look at history of countries breaking away form Russia or you can come here like me and talk to the people. Be mindful of all these Russian trolls on here spreading lies.
@@gloriousrussia7515I don't know who/what to believe. I just want truth
ZDriver1996
Actually, you are the one who is spreading lies. Shame on you.
Donna, you won't find the truth in this clip. Look up at the history of Russia. Crimea's population is 80% Russians. These people wanted to be part of Russia! There are videos with their reaction after the referendum. They were happy. They were celebrating. And there were thousands upon thousands of them! That cannot be orchestrated. This is the truth.

Actually, what did you want from the destructive sanctions?
Imaginé how powerful an alliance with the US and Russia could be! A global force for good!
WWII again. I’d be down
So why would a country exchange their nuclear weapons for a promise? What’s missing here?
I like how they used F22 raptors as the demonstration to bomb the boats lol
Might not be too far fetched that NATO illegally bombed something again to start a war between Russia and Ukraine so they can come and "peacekeep" the 2 and in the end establish their own bases there to exploit the country of minerals and stuff xd

clear explanation with nice presentation skills . Thank you !
Turkey does not know the truth what is going on
Is this the PowerPoint he has used to explain or some other software/ app ?
I from Dnipropetrovsk region. I speaking in Russian.
So whats the difference between the two languages?
Jonathan Hadley Russian sounds rude , Ukrainian much and much melodic. Some Ukrainian letters are unique , because Russian alphabet and language hadn’t them ( і ї є) , Russians don’t understand Ukrainian in general ,but Ukrainians can speak and read on Russian , understand Polish , Chezh, Slovenian ,Belorussian,and Yugoslavian languages , while Russians aren’t.

I'm an American and met a Ukraine guy and he told me about this. it seems like Russia is being some bullies.
meet a russian and ask him about his opinion
@@gerardsmadja1323 and get an earful of russian state propaganda.
Personally, I read the INYT everyday, but I am still able to hear the screams of eastern ukrainians when the shells of the Ukr army who wants to 'liberate' them falls on houses, schools, hospitals,etc... I fail to understand the logic. Whatever the 'propaganda', the opinions in Russia are far more diverses than in Ukraine

xoxol stupid
I checked the detailed number of deaths as quoted in wikipedia (for what they are worth...)
3318 civilians from UN(probably mostly Eastern ukrainian, but not specified)
4159:Ukrainian forces + volunteers (Ukr historical sources?)
3544: DPR/LPR various
400-500: Russians US state department (compatible with 5000 to 10000 troops)
So indeed, the figure of 10000 includes civilians + military of both sides.
Thank you.
When he said in the video that more than 10,000+ people has been killed by russian speratists i exited the video. Most biased statement ever, and actually misinformation.
@@danieldreasvold2072 Indeed! Not only RUclips, but ALL media hide the true meaning of the estimate 13000 deaths
more or less equally split between the two sides, and roughly equally between military and civilians on each side.
A journalist of 'Le Monde' Benoît Vitkine, specialized on Eastern Europe, also claimed 13000 was the number of deaths on the Ukrainian side.
Wikipedia can’t be used as a source lol
@@anna-if8fi Nobody should trust wikipedia blindly,but when it is biased, it is biased in favour of NATO countries, given who supervises it. In this case, I checked the reference to US military sources, which are rather unlikely to favour Russia. So the number of deaths attributed to separatists is an actual lie, which destroys the whole Video

Question - Did Crimean's vote to re-join Russia ? Simple question. Answer - Yes they did. Question - Does a 90% peoples vote to re-join Russia, count for nothing ?
@Dmitri Patronov OK..so those interviewed on the street were lying then when they said they want to stay with Russia. These interviews were carried out later, not before.
@Dmitri Patronov It was only illegal under Ukrainian law.
Crimean protesters angry at Ukrainian government accused Crimean protesters as terrorists..I wonder why that is..The people barricaded the building to protect those inside. I know who I would rather believe...It is NOT the Ukrainian government, my wife is Ukrainian, I am a Brit. It is also not western governments or western press. I believe those Crimean's interviewed. Why should they want to stay with a corrupt government and an unstable country ? My wife also feels the same..so does he brother. I imagine you are not Crimean. I could be wrong.
@Dmitri Patronov By the way, get your fact right..They were NOT Russian forces..They were Pro Russian...Not Russian.
@Dmitri Patronov This is not the only example of a government trying to prevent other parts of what they see as their country from leaving. My own country of England..trying to prevent Scotland from doing the same..As with Spain and the Catalan's. The vote is only illegal under Ukrainian law..I wonder why that is ? A country, or part of, should be able to decide it's own future and not have one forced on it. Do you not agree ??? 90 %, of the Crimean people want OUT...do they not have a right to decide this question ?? Or do they have the other side force it upon them.
