You're absolutely right. I didn't mean to imply that the Budapest Memorandum was a security guarantee, and that the US and UK broke it. My point was to contrast that agreement from anything that Ukraine might be willing to sign for a 2022 peace deal. Russia has violated just about every clause of the Memorandum (expect the nuclear weapons one), so as I said in the video, any peace deal could not simply be between just Russia and Ukraine - because Ukraine would understandably not trust any agreement with Russia, without a 3rd party to hold them accountable. And as you pointed out, there was no punishments for breaking the agreement, something that an agreement today would absolutely need. I don't see anything like an article 5 guarantee that Zelensky is after happening, but there would need to be some kind of explicit consequences in writing for breaking the agreement. Unfortunately, any such agreement would be incredibly difficult, and will either take several years, or never happen.

Option 3: and probably the best option for Ukraine is that the Russian people overthrow Putin or find someway to get a new leader who can end the war for them.

Fixed: the literature Russian language is being suppressed in Ukraine by the countryside dialect speakers. The main condition for dialect to become language is a literature standard. Ukrainian one was created in late XIX century from different countryside dialects. The principe for the creators was to make the language as far from Russian as it could be. There was another project, closer to Russian (ironically, that project came from Lvov, the most anti-Russian city nowadays), but the final version was created by Kievian group. And to understand the whole background you need to know that the most common language in cities like Kiev, Ekaterinoslav (Dnepr), Aleksandrovsk (Zaporozhie), Chernigov was russian, the muscovite one. It was simply an attribute of any educated person - to speak literature language and not dialect. Like in modern Bavaria you mostly hear local dialect of German mostly from people came from countryside, not that are living in the center of Munich. In this video, author mentioned the Stalin’s policy towards Ukrainians. However, it was like swing in the USSR. During the early soviet rule, while Ukraine formally was independent, the policy of indigenization started. People without any national identity in the countryside was told that they are proud Ukrainians, the education on standardized Ukrainian language had begun. During the period of inter-party struggle, while Lenin already died, but Stalin didn’t got all the power that he achieved in 30’s, that policy continued. In the first soviet population census, any citizen that identified himself as “malorussian”, or “little Russian”, had been recorded as Ukrainian. Soviet education system in Ukraine promoted local literature authors, even if people wasn’t interested in them so much. After the Stalin’s era Kruschov came to power and the policy was again in favor of ukrainization. Brezhnev reversed it again, two old guys didn’t really changed something, and Gorbachev just gave all these matters to local communist parties, which were in favor of… you guessed it. All that text above is to describe how synthetic Ukrainian identity was from the beginning, just like if northern Englishmen were creating their own Northumbrian identity, creating their language with lot of Celtic words to just separate it from “Londoners” english, and claiming even more land that shares similar dialects. And then commies in Britain take power and for concrete their rule they decide to rely on those guys, promoting Northumbrian identity.

@@slavicemperor8279 Wrong, wrong and wrong. There have been efforts to map out Russia's entire stocks of armor, depot by depot. Numbers are around 6-7k tanks of all variants combined, 3000 of which are confirmed visually to be rusted scrap beyond repair, half going as far as just straight up missing turrets and being piled up one onto the other as if it's a car junk. All major tank plants have also closed off, due to lack of resources, so no new production to replace losses either. Russia has already lost around 1.3k tanks which can be visually confirmed picture by picture(The unconfirmed destroyed ones number around 500 additionally.) Russia has been pulling entire convoys of AFVs and heavy artillery from Irkutsk and other areas to subsidize losses, which shows an increasing desperation. Small arms are worthless to an imperialist empire in the 21st century. Without the necessary branches to support infantry: APCs, Tanks, etc, giving guns to patriotic 40yo boomers is both idiotic and a danger to your own state's security. (They'll die by the droves, each stupid loss increasing the chance of units rebelling against you, or at least not following orders.) Due to corruption, half of Russia's tanks are inoperabile, and when one branch of the military experiences rot, so do all the others. From that it's fair to assume their nuclear arsenal is also more underwhelming than in the propaganda (Kiselev's "Submarine that could nuke the UK in one swoop" was later found on satellite images half scrapped at a port north of Murmansk.) Not to mention, nobody is an idiot. To press the big button, Putin's decision has to go through a conga line of officials, none of which will favor turning the entire world against them over such a stupid idea. It takes only one of them interfering to block the entire process indefinitely. As for mobilisation, impossible due to social and political reasons. The moment Putin declares mobilisation he signs both himself and his own country's stability a death wish. The Russians will not fight, no matter how many studies on "how much they support his war" are conducted. It's easy to support something that doesn't bother you in any way. When he'll declare martial law, he effectively turns at least every major and slightly well off city, including Moscow his enemy. It's easy to sweep it under the rug when poor sods from Tuva or Buryatia are fighting the war, but the spoiled guy from St.Petersburg, Moscow or even someplace like Chelyabinsk would rip Putin's head off before he's forcefully sent to the front of a war he has no commitment to, on certain death.

There are two obvious points in this conflict. They are parallel to each other. 1. Russia fears Ukraine's accession to the EU. Since the economies of Russia and Ukraine are closely connected with each other. But Russia is even more afraid of Ukraine joining NATO. Since NATO is considered an anti-Russian organization. 2. The rulers (oligarchs, businessmen) of Russia and Ukraine are intertwined in the territories of both countries. And now there is a business war going on. Russia does not always protect Russians in Russia. But he loves to protect Russians in Ukraine. This is a fact. And we (Russians) see it.

Once again, I'm sorry it's been so long since my last video. I don't normally do current events, but after a while it became clear that this was going to go on for a while, I decided this was too big of a geopolitical issue to not make at least 1 video about it. In this video I looked at some of the issues that will be key to ending this war. Or at the very least, the main points of contention. I know this is a very controversial topic, and I tried my best to do it justice. I tried to look at what both sides would want for ending the war, and how some kind of compromise could be reached. Though, this may take several years. Things don't seem like they're going to end any time soon, unfortunately. In case it wasn't clear from the video: I DO NOT SUPPORT THIS INVASION. Quite the opposite, actually. Just because I talk about some of Putin's claims and justifications, does not mean I agree that they are legitmate. This is especially true for point #3. As I concluded that section: it's been blown well out of proportion to justify the invasion. There's so much of the history that I wasn't able to go into. So much of which is very relevant for understand the deeper nature of this conflict. Russia and Ukraine have a very long, complicated history.

It is often used when the warring parties are of approximately equal strength so that none of them can make decisive gains. This is not at all the case in chess.

I know my people 🇷🇺 and the people of Ukraine 🇺🇦 well. The seeds of hatred are planted very deeply. This war will not end. There will be peace for a while.

This is a fair video - one of the few that is available in the internet now.

Great video.

I can't see a diplomatic solution ever being negotiated simply because they would never agree to hand over land such as the Donbass and Crimea. So the only way this ends is militarily. One side or the other capitulates and can no longer fight the war in which case the winner takes all. Or a stalemate which leads to an armistice similar to how the Korean war ended and now have two very hostile sides neighbouring each other ready to go to war at a moment's notice over perceived or real past injustices.

Watching this one year later - things have escalated more. Ukraine have missed the window of opportunity for a diplomatic solution. Russia have dramatically increased the stakes, by declaring the 4 former Ukrainian regions as part of Russia. And now the war will be long.

(long post about most points from someone who lived in "break out region" during war start in 2014, and who moved away in 2017, after local bandits started fight for power, and when almost all services stopped working, so city became like living in 4rd wolrd country) Putin in yesterdays meeting said that he is like Peter the Great, and that he is "collecting Rossian lands" and want to "unitre Rossia like it was 100+ years ago". And said that "Peter the Great was getting what were always ours. Whole Europe said that those lands belonged to Sweden and disagreed, but Peter did not cared and just won with military power". So he is basically saying that real reason for war - is imperialistic expansion, cocupation and conquering new lands, and that he will not stop on Ukraine, and that he does not care on international rules. Also, what suppression of Russian language? If there was a suppression of language - it would be Ukrainian, as in many cities Ukrainian was seen as "language for villagers and dumb people". Mariupol is Donbass region (Donetsk oblast) and it was under Ukrainian rule this 8 years - and it was one of fastest developing city in Ukraine. Official site was on Russian and Ukrainian language, Mayor of city was pro-Russian. City had more than dozen Russian-speaking schools that were teaching on Russian language. Almost 98% of people in Ukraine KNOW Ukrainian language, while around 20-25% do NOT know Russian. Also, such laws have most of countries, Russia have even worse language laws and they had destroyed dozens of indigenous languages in the Republics they own. Language laws are basically "on state TV much be subtitles in Ukrainian when other languages are used", then "state documents all will be on Ukrainian" and similar laws - and you will see such laws almost everywhere. Russia themselves have similar laws and even much more strict, and yet it is not a problem for some reason. Also, territory that is now under Russia - Kuban, just in 1926 had 62% of Ukrainians and Ukrainian language there was 47% spoken. Donbass region had 80% Ukrainians and 50% Ukrainian spoken in 1918. However, after Stalin's Holodomor/Genocide and then "repopulation" of those lands, numbers changed drastically. Donbass became just 52% Ukrainians and language was 40% spoken. Kuban became 5% Ukrainian and language just 7% spoken. The part of Donbass that was taken from Ukraine in 1923 and given to Russia (and it is still in Russia) also had similar fate to Kuban, there only 1.6% of Ukrainians left. Also, far right and nazi problem? Right wing parties COMBINED got only 2% of votes in last 2 elections. Nationalist candidate to President got less than 1% of votes. The whole "nazi regiment" was just 800 people (and many of them ended in prison, also). So 800 people in 40 millions country? That is nothing, not even a fraction of a procent. All parties in current parliament are centrist or left-wing. Only and out of 450 deputees - only ONE is right wing/nationalist. A single one. In Russia this problem is much bigger. Plus Putin said himself that he is "ultranationalist" and want make everything - Russia. Plus, you can check Russia themselves - if you check "renting services" in Moscow or St.Petersburg, you will find "interesting thing". Last year Russian Civil Rights organization made a research, and they found out that 17% of all renting services in Russia have "Only for Whites/Only for Slaivc" signs on them. And in some services, like spa - this number can be raised up to 30% - so people in general are xenophobic there. In Ukraine no such thing exist. So Russia would better fix this "nazi problem" in their own borders first, and only then go other countries. Especially considering that power in Ukraine changed 2 times (so were 3 powers - "temporary", Poroshenko and Zelensky, same with Parliament - 3 of them were during this time), and current President is Russian-speaking Jewish man, while in Russia power havent changed in last 23 years. I am myself from Donestk, and overwhelming majority of people fighting there - were Russians. Mainly from "economically depressive regions" - so they did not even looked like Ukrainans. Most of them were asians (Buryats, Tatars, Yakuts, Dagestans, Chechens, etc). Only westerners/slavic groups among them were Wagner Group and Russich Group - who were fully russian ultranationalistic groups, with their leader being open neo-nazi. However, they are "officially not registered in Russia", so even thought majority of them are Russians and they are doing what Russian generals say them to do, "officially" it is not Russian military. But those groups left Ukraine in 2015 and went to fight in Syria and Yemen. And what about countries like France, who had 35% of voters voting for far-right ultranationalists with neo-nazis in leading roles? It is 30 times bigger issue than in Ukraine, and it also means that a lot of people are supporting that position, not like in Ukraine, where this group just exist and have no support among anyone. Also, "fair voting" and "referendum" is ridiculous. Russia/DPR/LPR only held 1/3 of the territories. And yet they did voting for 100% of territories, also did it just randomly, with armed people everywhere, and Russian military also had a right to vote, so it was just a farce. Plus many who were pro-Ukrainian ended up in "Isolation" prison, which is more like a torture chambers, than prison. Also, "separatists" governemnts were all this time in Moscow, they weren't in place. One of them never even was in Luhansk, and just born in Russia and never entered Ukraine. Plus majority of people there were under Ukrainian territory. Up to 50% of people living under Russian control - fled the territory in 2014-2021 years. So it is as fake as it can get. Today there are more separatists than there were before, mainly because Russia had banned Ukrainian language completely there, were jamming Ukrainian signals and were spreading own propaganda 24/7. In Donetsk they had a car with TV's and cars with Loud Speakers that were almost all the time showing Russian propaganda on repeat. When one of such was ending near my house, it was annoying, as was too loud. You could saw "modernized version" of such truck in Mariupol during current war. Also about Yanukovich - he tried to cancel next elections, he banned freedom of speech, he banned ability to go on protests, he changed his political course 180 degrees from one that he was elected for, he tried to give himself almost supreme power, and became unchangeable dictator. WHAT ELSE people were supposed to do? Just accept becoming slaves now? Or what? And do you know that we have dozen of thousands people in Donetsk protesting against Yanukovich, because he BETRAYED people of Donetsk? Ofc in 2019 they wanted to go NATO, because of how Russia was behaving, harassing and attacking Ukraine for decade. They just wanted some protection, any protection. Ukraine even asked China once about it. Because Russia already attacked Ukraine twice, did a lot of economical pressure - at least 5-6 times they implemented different extra taxes, sanctions or pushed prices, so Ukraine wanted to break that dependancy. If not Russia - Ukraine would never be applying or wanting to go to NATO. Russia guilty in this for themselves. Until Russia started harassing Ukraine in around 2002 - majority of Ukrainians were pro-alliance with Russia and against EU. But every year Ukrainians wanted less and less to do with Russia, because of how abusive Russia was to them. Also, Ukraine never was a neutral state. Plus, almost all new NATO members after 2000s - are all were asking to protect them from Russia. They all lived through Russian occupation, and Russia was threatening all of them with war, so they applied to NATO. Also, Russia have broken ALL agreements about peace and peace treaties - with Georgia, with Chechnya, with Ukraine - so there no real way to defend from them, there no way to trust them. The only way is to join some defensive alliance, so Russia will not want to attack you again. Russia attacked Chechnya twice, Georgia thrice, Ukraine thrice. They just getting a bit, then making peace treaty/agreement, regrouping, few years later - coming again and taking more. Then they wait again few years and attacking again, they never have enough, they always attack again and demand even more, every time attacking with bigger force.
