Communications disruption can mean only one thing…
so you claim putin rigged elections but biden won fairly?? you would make goebbels proud
This video belongs on the BBC channel so biased😮 it makes me want to pull my hair 😂 but we know the truth 😂😂😂
Putin will 🔥🇺🇸
The voice over is terrible
The people of Crimea voted
If Ukraine was the third largest nuclear power, sure hope the kept one. Light one off anywhere and Russia is first to go.
Russia needs to be continuously humiliated until its leadership is eliminated and attitude changes and embraces democracy.
Putin: forever insecure and paranoid who will never be truly respected or admired by most of the world much less trusted.
Unwarranted violence will not win friends.
For a reputedly smart man, Putin is amazingly stupid.
The Russian people are forever gullible.
you dont fool me.
Putin was never intending to join the world community, just like China and other despots, they want access to tech and markets but dont like the fact they are not a super power and as such dont get their way.
The faster they get rid of the evil Russian dictator, the better for everyone.
Why do you continue to call Putin president?
This man is nothing but ruthless criminal and a dictator. Nothing will stop him, his own people doesn’t a clue as to what’s happening in their own country.
Now do how the US and NATO violating every post war agreement and staging a coup in Ukraine set the stage for the current fighting.
Where exactly is that Crimean land connection with Russia you mentioned at the beginning of this video? I can't find it on any map?
Putin is a horrible criminal; he is now the gangster boss of a Mafia State that has become a terrorist state! He must be opposed, defeated, deposed, arrested, handcuffed and taken to The Hague! While they’re at it they should round up Yanokovitch and have him tried in Ukraine for several dozen crimes! Putin must go! We are sick of all his criminal acts.
Russia signed a treaty with France and Britain and after the Crimean War in the 1850's, they obviously broke the treaty, so when Russia annexed Crimea, why didn't France and Britain speak up, even though their balls fell off decades ago
I really wish President Obama had pulled a Conoco Fields
🇺🇸: Are these your troops?
🇷🇺: нет
🇺🇸: Cool, then you won’t mind if we ✈️ 💣 💣 💣
I usually put these docs on when I go to bed. I actually watched this one. Great video
Wow. Between 7-min mark, Ukraine gives up nuclear weapons and then skips to Crimea event, completely ignoring 20 years of NATO encroachment and instigation. Imagine if Russia buddied up with Mexico and gave them tons of weapons, what would the USA do? Lol
This isn't history, it's NATO propaganda. I'm a USA citizen,.but you cannot be honest and deny the role of your own country, whether right or wrong.
Fantastic propaganda, absolutely excellent.
I’d like to see a documentary on the Crimean War of the 1850s in which Ukraine bravely fights against Britain and France…….oh wait, l mean Russia because l looked at a map from that period and wouldn’t you know it I couldn’t find Ukraine on it, only Russia and Crimea was in Russia so l guess it’s true that the made up country of Ukraine only came into existence long after Crimea became a part of the Russian Empire, like nearly 200 years after Crimea became Russian!
Crimea – is in the Borders of Ukraine.
🔴 An Illegal Fake Referendum. Period.
🔴 A Thieving Land Grab. Period.
Wow what a balanced fair video and information
This is unpopular opinion, but I stand with Russia on this one
First , Crimea is not attached to Russia. Crimea is separated by a straight which is why they had to build a bridge.
Second Catherine was the first psychotic Russian autocrat that violated a treaty guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty.
Third Muscovy was a bunch of huts in mud flats when Kyiv was the capitol of the Rus.
Fourth Russian language is dominant because Catherine deported the Crimean Tatars . Then Stalin deported the balance. Then Russia imported Russians into Crimea.
Fifth, Stalin starved to death 4million Ukrainians in the Holodomor then imported Russians into Crimea. These were primarily into Donbas and Luhansk.
Forgot to mention that the west agreed to not expand NATO any further east.
I look forward to Part Two!! Great work!
This is NATO/US propaganda. The US had a 30 year plan to break up Russia and loot the recources. Ukraine was the corrupt staging ground.
She is not telling the true , as usual the west always the falsify history
