The nation who whose very name means Borderland has been home to nomads for millenia. As a pawn in the games of larger European powers, how did Ukraine become the complex geopolitical entity it is today? Cossacks, Tatars, Mongols and Vikings only scratch the surface of this ancient land

    15:07 "We're not at the end of Ukraine's story. Nor are we ever. We're only in the middle of its most recent chapter." .... Huh, who would have thunk, right?

    “We’re not at the end of Ukraine’s story”. How true.
  • tldr: Ukraine's been going through it for centuries. Damn, can we give them a break or something 😭
  • @dafuh9679
    I love how detailed your characters are. You even have one with Yulia Tymoshenko's hair!

    As a Ukrainian, I can claim that most of the information in this video is spot on! (except some minor mistakes or simplifications, but I guess that most of us are ok with that) Thank you very much for remaking the previous version with a much deeper look into our history and culture! Good job! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦

    After learning such fascinating history.. it's heartbreaking to see such a beautiful country get destroyed..
  • I am from Bulgaria and most of us consider Ukrainians to be our slavic brothers who helped us along with russian and polish soldiers get free from ottoman rule.God bless Ukraine🙏

    I had to watch this because I work with 2 Ukrainian guys. They are hard workers, with a pleasant, friendly manner. They both lived under Soviet rule, and have a unique point of view. I figured I'd learn a LITTLE about their narional history.

    The moment when you realize that Ukraine has been fighting for its independance for the past 1000 years

    As an American with strong roots to pre WWII Lithuania as well as Eastern Europe in general, & who homeschools several kids this video was a great way to give them some brief history of the region, & it's conflicts as we sit here in Feb 2022.

    Kyivan Rus age and Cossack age is such a fine soil for cinematography and PC culture. I am yet to see some Assassin's Creed set in Kyivan Rus' or some Netflix movie in some scenic Ukrainian historical sites.
  • @epicgamergag
    Now, we're watching Ukraine's most important chapter of recent history. I pray that they win.
  • @claudio38ify
    Watching this video now, explains lots of things, making the situation even sadder. Stay strong, stay hopeful Ukraine 🇺🇦

    I'm from Dumfries in the south of Scotland, during the war there was a large camp outside of Lockerbie where lots of Ukranian soldiers who faught for Germany were held. After the war the Soviets asked for them to be handed over to them, fearing they'd be executed the British government catagorised them as Captured Enemy Combatants rather then POWs and refused to hand them over. Many emigrated to the United States but many others settled in the area, there is a memorial and chapel built by them just outside of Lockerbie and Ukranian surnames like Striciw are common in the area.
  • Super informative. Helps you understand the distinction between the Ukrainian and Russian identities.
