Putin's war on Ukraine, explained

Correction, March 3, 2022: A previous version of this video stated that NATO was brought to Russia's borders for the “first time” in 2004 when Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania joined NATO. That was incorrect because Norway shares a border with Russia and has been in NATO since 1949. We’ve corrected that line at 3:36 to emphasize the importance of former Soviet republics on Russia's border joining NATO for the first time.

We've also clarified that this is one of Europe's largest wars since World War II. We value your feedback in the comments and appreciate you bringing these points to our attention.

Why aren’t there as many protests for Ukraine as there are for Palestine?

Hows the 2 week military operation working out? 😂

Putin tried everything for years to get nato to not expand closer to russia but the more he tried the more countries joined nato and if ukraine joined that would put nuclear weapons on putins doorstep and thats why putin invaded but now its not as simple as not joining nato now putin wants ukraine to disarm and he wants ukraines military to join russias to create a powerhouse

1:34, 3:25, 4:44, 5:20, 5:40, 6:30, 7:00, 7:48, 8:09

Well this will give the slightly taste of what Palestine are going thru..
Western countries ignored Palestine invasion

This war is now longer than WW1 lol

Something important that Vox hasn’t stated out about NATO expansion is that, many countries within Europe ever since the Napoleonic wars have experienced wars involving the Russian Empire under the Tsars autocratic rule, and many of these countries were annexed as autonomous regions within the Russian Empire.

During the Tsars rule, they tried to Russianize lots of these regions, forcing Russian to be the official language and wiping out their own language, this was fairly common in Poland and Finland which were both autonomous regions after Napoleons failed invasion of the Russian Empire.

So after lots of them which eventually got their independence from the Soviets or Russian federation, many DIDN’T trust Russia due to their history with these wars of Imperialism, so they all wanted to ensure protection from Russia since NATOs main goal was to DEFEND any invasion from Russia which NATO and Russia were still around, unlike many satellite Soviet states and Warsaw pact all collapsed.

Finland and Sweden for example were both well aware of their history with Russia, they’ve gone to war with them and both sides didn’t have such a great experience especially for Finland which was ceded to them

But what’s truely saddening is that, Ukrainian civilians are the ones suffering, and many Russians heavily oppose it but cannot do anything in stopping it.

The military aid has been the greatest boon, the sanctions have not done as well. What a pointless thing this war is.

Both of you guys love bombing please I just want no one to be bomb in each country is just one who asked oil you can just shared the exact same amount and give it to each country and then each country can I have a really nobody can fight

I have been following this war since the start. The Russian stance is justified but method is wrong but US never wanted to negotiate even when Putin repeatedly warned.

Putin is finished
