Украина: битва за Европу | Крым, Донбасс, ЕС, война и реформы Зеленского

I also have a channel for my English-speaking audience! Subscribe now and watch my videos dubbed in English: https://vrlmv.com/HLJkPq Ukraine is the most similar country of the former USSR to Russia. Ukraine, Russia and Belarus are connected by a common past, close languages and people. But the present in our countries turned out to be different. Unlike Russia, Ukraine was able to maintain a competitive democracy - authoritarian projects did not succeed there. However, in economic terms, Ukraine lags behind Russia. Why did that happen? What is happening now with Crimea and Donbas? How did the events on the Maidan take place? And how does Ukraine live now? Today we will talk about the recent years in the life of Ukraine, its successes and failures, as well as highlight controversial and important issues. My friend Maxim Katz will do it for you.
