Good day, I just wanted to share this video, concerning the current crisis on Ukraine and Russia. This video goes over some of the historical highlights that may have led up to the current conflict. Some of those events, like a treaty signed in the 17th Century, or perhaps Stalin's terror-famine, as discussed in the documentary, are included. I took some notes from the video: 2014 Ukraine erupts into crisis. - The Escape of Ukrainian President Yanukovych to Russia - Crimea annexed - Ceasefires signed and broken. (Before the ink had run dry) The collapse of the Soviet Union was supposed to see widespread unrest in Ukraine. Putin called Ukraine a failed state. Ukraine wanted peaceful ties with both the west and Russia. The conflict extends over centuries, since 1654 with the treaty made by the Cossacks. Ukraine: - Second largest nation in Europe. - Breadbasket of Europe - Flag: Blue over yellow gives emphasis to the country's flat terrain, and blue skies over amber wave
