A History of Russo-Ukrainian Relations, Explained

Показать описание

Russia and Ukraine have had a long and tenuous relationship over the years. From Moscow's role in the Holodomor to Russia's recent invasion of Ukraine, what happened in the past can provide the reason for why Putin is doing what he's doing now. Learn more about it in this video!

Notes

• Note [1] — First of all, I think I should make this clear. I finished the video Wednesday night, before the Russian invasion of Ukraine happened. As such, the video does not reflect any recent events (I worked that into the video from the beginning, since I had no way of knowing whether or not the crisis would escalate or de-escalate).

• Note [2] — I apologize if I pronounce any names wrong — I do not speak Ukrainian or Russian.
