The tale of the Ukraine-Russia situation does not begin in 2021, or 2014, It starts in the 9th century.
There was a time when both nations were one.
There was a time when Ukraine offered its nuclear collection to Russia.
Palki Sharma Upadhyay will inform you why Putin desires Ukraine.

“Past imperialism cannot justify present day expansionism” very well said
War is not the solution of any problem.
Humanity has to suffer a lot
But it is an undeniable fact that France and Britain are the heart of almost every conflict in the whole world. They colonised a big part of planet earth and rule with cruelty leave the colonies with injustice and made the planet earth a war zone intentionally.
@Sunmbal Salman that was probably true hundreds of years ago, but you need to catch up and get with the times. The Empire expanding into Russian territory has little to do with the French or the British, those countries lost their sovereignty decades ago.
In this case, the narrative of imperialism b.s. doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. Look what I found…Spot on down to the prediction of timing of invasion/Explains SO much: “The REAL reason why Putin might invade Ukraine:
But the real key reason why Putin is risking everything by a possible invasion of Ukraine is the national defense strategy of Russia that sees an Ukraine part of NATO as an existential threat to Russia ‘s existence.
In the south Ukraine actually is the buffer that Russia needs. Russia cannot give up Ukraine to NATO as it considers it an existential threat. If Ukraine becomes part of NATO then the US, UK, Germany, Poland, etc., etc. can all deploy large number of troops with offensive weapons, take over control of the extremely important naval base of Sebastopol and further more put in mortal danger the industrial and energy heart of Russia in the Caucasus and the Volgograd areas. The Germans knew how important that areas were and that the Russian oil was there. That is why they desperately tried to take that area with the terrible battle of Stalingrad (Volgograd) during 1942-43.
Also if the US or UK place hypersonic missiles in Ukraine those can reach Moscow in about 5 minutes. Something that Russia can never ever accept. Because of Sebastopol, the oil and agriculture rich areas of Volgograd and the Caucasus, the potential missile threat, Russia sees an Ukraine member of NATO as an existential threat, as a Barbarossa operation part II that will succeed in destroying the country…
What does Russia want? Russia will not talk to the NATO Secretary General as they don’t want to talk to the figure head. They will only talk to the real power behind it, to the US. And Russia is demanding a written assurance that Ukraine will never ever be part of NATO. Regardless of the promise made to Ukraine by NATO in 2008 and the Ukraine vote to abandon their “neutrality” from December 2014, Russia wants in written a solid promise that Ukraine will not be part of NATO, now nor in the future. Period.
…As far as timing of the war, it should start by mid-February when heavy track vehicles can advance the most over the solid ice. It will not happen in late March nor April because of the mud associated with Spring. Another possibility is that Putin might wait until the Winter Olympics are over in China, by the third week of February.”__ Ron Aledo M.A, Former CIA senior analyst (ctr), former FBI, CEO Miami Intelligence Agency LLC, Economic Intelligence, Risk Reduction, Strategy Consultant.
Dear white people. YOU NEED TO REPENT from your racist ways because you have no idea that you MUST face what happened to black people. YOU ARE NOW GETTING THE CURSES. REPENT. ASK CHRIST TO FORGIVE YOU AND YOUR ANCESTORS for what they have done.==THIS IS PROPHECY
Any national leader who has evil intent of the heart to overpower or that you called EXPANSIONISM, will not SUCCEED, both parties have many loses, may they be both humbled for the sake PEACE.
im Ukrainian, and i am blown away by this clear and accurate explanation about my motherland. thank you so much!
Ukraine has been looking to join NATO since 1992. The Ukraine-NATO Commission was established in 1997. After Putin’s arrival, Russia began to strengthen and raise objections, especially if neighboring Ukraine invaded. That is why it is telling Ukraine not to join NATO. It wants to have a government that is favorable to them. Ukraine applied to join NATO in 2008. Its idea is to join NATO, thereby joining the European Union and doing business with European countries. But NATO countries stopped short of resisting Russia. Because they depend on Russia for energy needs. The Russian aristocracy has also invested heavily in European countries
We are with you
INDIA 🇮🇳 SUPPORTS RUSSIA 🇷🇺
ALLIES FOREVER
SINCE PRE COLD WAR. 😊 😉
Explained: The Russia-Ukraine crisis: Putin doesn’t want the Ukraine to join zionist controlled EU or zionist controlled nato. The zionist controlled EU would bankrupt & suck the Ukraine dry, just as they have done to the UK & every other country they have subjugated. It is unfortunate that there has to be a war, but I guess it’s the only way to stop the zionist controlled government of the Ukraine from being a totally controlled zionist asset.
Stay strong bro. You guys have a great President. We may not be able to do much in term of military right now, but the world is squeezing Russia everyday by cutting off any tie or business with them. It’s only a matter of time before Russia ran out of supplies and finance.
As a Ukrainian, I`m in awe! What a profound, relevant, and accurate report. Cudos to Mrs.Palki and a whole team of WION
A MUST READ…..AFTER DEATH…WHAT???
You know we’re just passing through this world to get
to The next, whether it be Heaven or Hell. “YES!”
There is a Hell!!!
Most people do not want to know this
BUT IT’S TRUE. Like it or not, there is a HELL!
And “YOU” make the choice.
You may think to yourself:
I’ve never hurt anyone.
I am no different than anyone else.
I do good things for people.
Heaven and Hell are on Earth.
“Nice try!” I’ve heard them all!
But the bible says “THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO
GET TO HEAVEN!
But there are many ways that lead to HELL!
Oh, and yes!
You can try to say that no one ever warned you about
Hell, BUT YOU HAVE JUST BEEN WARNED
WHEN YOU READ THIS AND NOW YOU ARE
HELD ACCOUNTABLE.
Now it’s too late to act dumb.
You will be held responsible for knowing this and for
being warned about Hell!!
WE ARE ALL SINNERS….sin is anything that
separates us from God. The bible tells us that any form
of idolatry, witchcraft, murder or murderous thoughts,
stealing, lying, adultery (sex outside of marriage), same
sex marriage, hatred, unforgiveness, etc…. are all sin.
God has seen every sin we have ever committed.
Yes, EVERY sin.
You Must accept Jesus Christ for your sins or
else…
HELL!!
I know you may not like it, but it’s true.
You ask yourself, “How do I stay out of Hell?
THIS and ONLY this…!
Admit that you are a sinner because we all are.
Every one of us.
Be willing to turn from sin and REPENT.
Believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins and
rose from the dead as the ONLY atonement.
He took your punishment for your sins.
Through prayer invite Jesus Christ into your
life ….Please don’t go to Hell. You won’t like it. You
can’t just try it for a weekend…ITS FOREVER!
You are not promised another day on Earth.
Tomorrow might be too late.
And it’s up to you which one you’ll choose. I tell
you this not because it’s my law, but because it’s
God’s law and it’s that simple.
Sorry there’s no sugar coating this!
“But” the truth will set you free.
I’m not asking you to go to my church or give me one
thin dime, I’m just asking you to turn to .. Jesus

I’ve watched 3 hours of western media coverage of what’s going on between Russia, excuse me, Vladimir Putin and Ukraine and I still didn’t understand why. Palki explained it perfectly in under 10 minutes 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 thank you
@Armando Garza maybe I’m daft
Are you being sarcastic?
Yeah Indian news seems so much better in details
Peace to all let’s come together guys
Agree. The western media should NEVER BE BELIEVED AT FACE VALUE.
Because the “West” at worst, is confused!
That is a hell of a video, thank you for this. I will urge everybody who seeks to understand the situation better to see this. Pure facts, no glitter, no exadurations. This is how media should be all over the world. Sadly we all know they are not.
This is really a unbiased and informative report on the conflict between Ukraine-Russia.
this is the most simple and straight forward explanation of the situation between the two countries I have seen so far,,,,you did ur research and I respect that
So glad I came across this video. This is the kind of context often not found in the reports I see on American TV. I see “Russia invades Ukraine”, and though I know a bit of the history, my question is always, ‘okay, why? What does Russia want? Who are the players? Where do the Ukrainian people stand? ‘ etc. Thank you for the good reporting.
Russia just dosnt want NATO close by and those 12+ bio warfare laboratories with deadly pathogen close by its border… Only US/NATO are allowed to enter those facilities….
People close by are dying of unknown diseases…. Ukraine is a cesspool of human/children trafficking + organ harvesting + money laundering…
Even the PM/MP lady said they are fighting for Democracy and for the NWO=NEW WORLD ORDER….
And Neo-nazi are in control, they stormed a peaceful protest in a tent/building and burned them all alive….
if I could send you pictures thro youtube I would, then you can see many soldiers holding a ukrainian flag with a Swatzika inside….
DO your own research and use multiple sources

This was an amazing education on the current topic. Greatly appreciate the effort put into providing this.
Thankyou, an exceptional report on the background history behind this conflict. If I can expand on one item, both the UK and USA are co signatories to the Budapest memorandum, they are bound by it’s conditions as is Russia and the Ukraine. The Russian fear of nukes on it’s door step is prohibited by the conditions set out in the memorandum, the USA and UK would be sanctioned if they failed to comply. The same condition that forced Ukraine to disperse its entire nuclear capable arsenal upon entering the agreement. The same agreement that Russia signed giving the Ukraine independence to choose their own direction, without military intervention or political influence.
Putin has blundered politically in full sight of the world, he has lost face, the situation could get very ugly.
However, Ukraine IS NOT A NATO MEMBER.
I’m Ukrainian, thank you for doing a good research, not full, but pretty good one. Some stuff didn’t pronounced correctly, but it’s ok 🙂
Really respect this amazing woman.
A lot of thinks remain in this but I know 😁
A clear, concise, and most importantly objective analysis of a complex situation. Excellent! Thank you kindly
Nope it’s bullshit reporting without facts. It’s starts from 2008. Bucharest summit where NATO considered Ukraine and Georgia for membership. Also I couldn’t take of my mind that US has no play in it.
It seems as though the main reason Putin wants Ukraine is to prevent NATO and the U.S. from having a military foothold close to Russia. It’s mostly about Putin wanting to protect Russia and reduce potential dangers.
Nice report! Would be nicer if you had mentioned how Moscow was assured there would be no expansion of NATO beyond Germany after the unification and then a couple of decades later NATO has taken in a dozen more countries and is steadily moving eastwards right to Russia’s borders.
Maybe, Russia breaking its many promises had something to do with this.
How many of these countries were forced to join NATO?
@airii No one… they w ant to join Nato on their own accord. US won’t force any country to join Nato…
There are many shades to the word ‘force’.
Exactly. Look what I found…Spot on down to the prediction of timing of invasion/Explains SO much: “The REAL reason why Putin might invade Ukraine:

I shall now be getting more news from you. Thank you for laying out the fact so clearly without dramatizing or sensationalizing anything. This was excellent journalism.
I agree! Palki Sharma Upadhyay is the BEST!!!!
@Jeanie M yeahh she’s the best , so are you 🙃👀
Great profile pic
@Jeanie M just subscribed to your channel, would be delighted, if I get a chance to have a conversation with you 😁
Wow. That was an amazing report. Right to the point. Concise. Unbiased. Just FACTS. Wish every media outlet was like this. “You decide.” Mike drop.
I think NO-ONE IS COMPLETELY UNBIASED. Palki is an Indian reporter and India also has a long history of colonial rule – occupation if you will which even by today’s perspective was in many ways beneficial.
Thank you for the best information about this conflict in terms of history lessons, the important leading events, the subsequent outcomes, and the political objectives.
Thank you for an educated, thorough explanation of the current conflict. It’s so true that nearly everything that happens in present times is tied to history…especially in the Old World.
Your explanation of the issue was so clear that for those of us who aren’t well versed in the history of these two countries, now have a better understanding of why the world is at an uproar over what’s happening.
Thank you for
I agree! I just love Palki Sharma Upadhyay, and can listen to her all day long! She is the voice of reason!
She did not get into details of why Ukraine joining NATO can threaten Russia’s security.
This is such an amazingly done video! Thank you so much for explaining this topic in such an easy to understand yet nuanced way!
Such a fine explanation! I really appreciate you delving so far into the past, it is neccessary to understand what´s going on. This was like a crash course in history that many people need. Thank you.
