What Caused the War? Ukraine and Russia in Historical Context

Thanks for being here. If you like this video please share it. Points of clarification and answers to your questions:
1. There will be a lot of misinformation in comments. I have posted sources in the video info above. I will add to the sources and add clarifications here in response to any (good faith) questions.
2. CLARIFICATIONS/CORRECTIONS: The official language of Ukraine is Ukrainian. "National languages" as a phrase was confusing. I should've just said that 30% of Ukrainians speak Russian as their first language. Also, the etymology of "Ukraine" is not settled as "borderlands." Many Ukrainian linguists argue that the etymology of Ukraine comes from words meaning "In My Land," not "borderlands." I also misspelled Kyiv as Kiev.
