They don't cover modern topics because the info on those conflicts would be wrong. 10 years from now portions of this video will (most likely) be inaccurate. This is mostly due to the fact that most of the information about the Ukraine war is top secret and is unknown to the general public not to mention the only information we do get is from the government and is also often altered from the truth.

We wanted to make sure we covered the war with a delay (only talking about 2022 events) so that we can give at least some time for the information to settle. We also made sure not to mention any specific figures for troop numbers/casualties, as those numbers vary widely and are a huge point of contention. Still, we find it useful to help inform people about what is going on in the real world, and being as objective as we can.

This is already extremely biased right from the get go. It did not "start" with annexation of Crimea, CIA/Obama administration supported the coup de tat` during Maidan Protests and started arming/funding far right-wing neo nazi militias in Ukraine such as Azov Battalion and Right Sektor. They did not want the pro-russian Yanukovich to win the elections because he was very popular. The west did was it always does and interfered and sewn conflict and that eventually led to the Odessa Federal Building Massacre in which ukrainian militias and civilians firebombed a building full of russian-speaking ukrainians, killing women (some of which were pregnant) and men, any survivors were shot or strangled or were forced to leap to their deaths from the windows. This is all documented, recorded by video and photos by the way. After the massacre pro-russian militias started popping up everywhere and a resistance formed against the neo-nazi militias, in which Russia supported, THEN Crimea WILLINGLY joined Russia without firing a shot, they were welcomed with open arms, Crimea did not want to be part of the western puppet nazi country of Ukraine. And now we are where we are..

Maybe for europeans an americans its both sad and amazing but for ukrainians its tragedy becouse every day russian rockets kill innocent people and every day people lose their relatives. Аnd recently the russians created an environmental disaster in the Kherson region by blowing up the Kakhovskaya HPP. Thousands of people lost their homes, and elderly people who could not swim drowned, and the russians do not give permission for evacuation. There is even a video of a Ukrainian drone giving a bottle of water to people who are forced to sit on roofs due to a flood. And the most disgusting thing in my opinion in this situation is that the UN celebrated the day of the Russian language on the day when it all happened. Why then was the UN created if not to protect the environment and human rights? It is very unfortunate that I (and many other children and teenagers) lose childhood in constant fear while the russians rejoice at every death of Ukrainians

I half agree. While this war does showcase a lot modern tech, it also shows a war between 2 near-peer enemies forced to resort to mostly-static attritional warfare. In Western military doctrine wars should be as swift as possible using their massive superiority of force, and I feel that should taken into account.

It is worth mentioning that on the ground the invasion of Crimea (invasion of Russian military men) had started on February 20th, 2014. Yanukovych fled Ukraine on February 22d. It is the undeniable truth that Yanukovych betrayed Ukraine playing his part in diligently orchestrated "separatism". Putin, later that spring, was honouring his military men involved in Crimea's annexation with the medal created for that occasion that read "for return of Crimea" dated February 20th, 2014.

Its finny think tany starting genocide and ethical cleansing in Ukraine by prowestern Hunta Politicians that took power during the Maydan and became persecuting those who weren't agreed with their unlawful taking power. The events in Odessa's massacre in 2014 - in which Parliament the proRussian peaceful protesters unarmed were burned alive by proNAZI banderas' followers and radicals as bandits and starting ATO (or so-called "counter terroristic operation" killing separatists in Donbass and Lugansk - bombing unarmed civilians and killing women, elders and children who are prorussian speakers by right radicals from neo-Nazi battalions "Azov" and "Aydar"). So the Minsky agreement was the last try to stop such a massacre, with all the territories are returned to the Ukraine (proRussian separatists and Russian forces agreed to stop fire, but the Ukrainian government didn't want to see it and with the support from HQ from London, France and Germany, NATO alliance not to follow these agreements continued firing peaceful citizens there). So the result was the Special Operation - to establish the government in Ukraine that can really provide the safety of proRussian and Ukrainian population there in reality and stop the influence of NATO there which really should go away from there. So the course of President Putin is quite clear for the population and a supportive one: "the denazification and demilitarisation of Ukraine"

The reason why they didn’t put in any events from 2023 was because this video was primarily focused on what happened in 2022, so everything after New Year’s Day in 2023 will likely be explained in their 2023 video- whenever that will be. But yeah, some important events felt skimmed over but I think that’s because of the 15 minute “time limit” instead of their former 20-25 minute videos.
