"Will Ukraine be prepared, when it enters the EU, to assimilate its liberal humanist principles and values and contribute decisively to its dissemination as a society and culture in its geographical space?" I would like this question to be asked to understand how committed Ukrainian citizens are to accepting EU membership. The EU is definitely with Ukraine, as we see a culture of work, integrity and above all honesty that complements the multiculturality European space. SLAVA UKRAINE💛💙

So true! My first thought was that culturally there’s a difference between city people and country people here in Australia. Country people are more conservative, progressives live in the cities. They bitch about each other but no one thinks of joining a neighbouring country. Of course it’s all water so it would be awkward. I wish for a United and independent Ukraine, a valued member of the western democratic world. I wish the western democratic world would get its act together and industrialise its weapons industries and get this war over with. 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇦🇺

Yanukovych didn't just fled, he was running for his life after Maidan mob had threatened to murder him. Both Maidan coups 2004 and 2014 were financed and organized by Usa government.

​@Papagulag stop your Putin propaganda. You're ridiculous. And FYI, the current Ukrainian prwsidrnt is a Russian native 🙄

Yes, its true.

People in Odessa and mostly in Kiev speak Russian. Well at least until 2022.

1) It's hard to claim that the separatist movement was created artificially when it rose out of a reaction to the replacement of their ethnic language, even Russia still allows for multilingual studies for its various republics. It's like if Canada just suddenly forced all institutions in Montreal to only use English. This would of course cause an uproar. 2) Russian TV has been banned and all opposition media, especially Russian language, has also been banned, by Zelenskiy's orders. 3) Yes, this is true about the links with Britain, but this is because the Russian Empire had warm relations with England and France, and the Russian influence over this territory predates the 19th century by a long shot, hence why you have huge ethnic Russian populations living there.

Many of the millions of Ukrainians deliberately starved to death by stalin 90 years ago were in that area, and were then replaced by russian speakers. Having said that, we really should move away from equating russian-speaking Ukrainians with people who buy into kremlin propaganda, because many Ukrainians who grew up speaking mostly russian very firmly identify as Ukrainian (including many of the people who've been killed since 24th February 2022).

This is the truth. Ukrainian speakers also covered the southern part of the Voronezh Oblast and also, of course, the whole of the Krasnodar region (east of the Azov Sea). But the Russians for years have tried to suppress their identity and prevent them speaking Ukrainian.

@@MikeRodent-wp6ci The thing is on one hand we have multicultural countries like Switzerland, Russia, Belgium, India where different ethnic minority groups can their own language, religion and representation, and on the other hand we have Ukraine that is a multicultural country as well, but tries to be a homogenous one like, say, Japan even though Ukraine has a lot of ethnic Russians, Hungarians, Poles, Tatars etc. So Ukraine today is practically doing what the Russian Empire was doing 100 years ago (assuming, of course, that what you said is true)…

Yep. I read a huge book about the history of Ukraine (700 pp) a few months ago. So different and so much more complex than my country's history (UK).

This is impossible because the Russians have had a slave mentality since the beginning of their Moscow state, which was basically created by the conquest of territories and local nations by Asian hordes.

No religion has been banned in Ukraine: Ukrainians are trying to shake off the muscovite church - which is basically a branch of the FSB - and that's a very different thing. And no one is prevented from speaking russian in the day-to-day lives, but Ukrainian is the state language and must be used by anyone providing service. The russian language has been heavily weaponised by putin's regime and used to justify a genocide, so no wonder people have lost their patience with it. Besides, many Ukrainians have been directly traumatised by people speaking russian, and it's understandable that they don't want to hear it. There are Ukranians who've escaped the temporarily occupied areas who now refuse to speak russian, even though it's their native language and they're not yet as fluent in Ukrainian. I know this for a fact, I have met them.

Very good point. But this young Ukrainians are brainwashed they think Ukraine is the oldest country in the world

Please read History books instead of listening to this guy who does not even know the differences between people, culture, language, and independent state. Ukraine exists for centuries, although it was not an independent state until the early XXth century for 3 years and then again from 1991.

@@kadovax6567 I have read a lot about history of Ukraine , not Ukrainian books though ! As you just wrote Ukraine is a very recent state ...

because you stupid ruzzke scam?

While when people put the word "russian" and the word "culture" one after the other in a sentence, nobody laughs because we all think of genocide.

@@1midnightfish What 'genocide' specifically do you keep thinking about? In Rwanda or in Armenia? Huh?

@@vasiliev62 Well, apart from the Holodomor 90 years ago, there's the genocide that putin's russia has been perpetrating in Ukraine since 24th February 2022

your momma is not Ukraine anymore

They are temporarily occupied areas, like Crimea and parts of Kherson and Zaporizhzha

@@1midnightfish BS. These territories had been conquered by Russian tzars centuries ago. Lawless Bolsheviks gave them away to a newly formed Ukraine without having asked local population. They have returned where they belong now and forever.

ну так а что в этом удивительного. Ни вертепов, ни дидухов на востоке никогда и не было, т.к. это римская традиция, т.е. фактически католическая. И ветками омелы дверь дома под Рождество тоже никогда не вешали, потому что это чужой обычай

Ukraine is a sovereign state which was recognised even by Russia that signed with Ukraine two bilateral treaties. Is it a special feature of Russia that has diplomatic relations and signs international agreements with itself? Btw. The Ukraine Russia bilateral treaty 2003 where Ukraine’s 1991 borders that include Crimea and Donbas were recognised was signed by Putin.

The people whose view of your claims matters are the Ukrainians. They are all individuals with a range of opinions. So some form of open debate and counting is required: i.e. a form of democracy.

@@ninaotan7811 what about Serbia and kosovo? Serbia was also a sovereign country

@@gabrielbakalarz5722 It's about as rational to assume that the ethnic tension beset Yugoslavia can neatly and smoothly transition into a harmonious patchwork of several distinct "sovereign countries" within a fortnight as it is to blame Gorbachev of the 1990s for the fact that the economy and politics of the USSR could not accomplish a similarly smooth transition in a similar time period. Are you *seriously* claiming that you did not already know what I just said? You have heard of a state called Yugoslavia, yes? And USSR? One day perhaps you'll find a more productive use of your own life than to mindlessly parrot the absurd distortions emanating from your tsar and his obsequious propagandists.

@@davidwright5094 I’m not talking about Yugoslavia. I’m talking about Serbia after collapse of Yugoslavia. Why nato took Kosovo away from Serbia ?

And bolcheviks wasn t criminal ? I talk about russian speaking but cause holodomor ukrainian has been replaced by russian people do you understand ?

@@BenBen-ge3gt aborigines in Australia and Indians in America also were killed and replaced by white people, do you understand?

There is no ban on the russian language in Ukraine. There are restrictions that were placed in 2022 after the start of the war that in some ways impact russia's ability to utilize certain channels for spreading propaganda, but in no way ban or place restrictions on the general usage of the russian language by Ukrainian citizens. Specifically, restrictions were place that prevented russian citizens from printing books (unless they take Ukrainian citizenship), the import of books from russia (seems reasonable given that Ukraine and russia are at war, and part of that war is a very obvious psychological and propaganda war against the combined Ukraine / west), and the usage of music created by post-1991 russian citizens.

Ukrainian people are very peaceful so let them live in peace you 15000 kilometer from Moscow to Vladivostok.

@@BenBen-ge3gt proved it in volhynia 1943 . Peacefull as f…k lol you are totally brainwashed

З'їбете звідти, тоді і опитаємо. Пнх

and I see the old video of Zelensky when he just comedian, he using bandera and meinkraft book as a joke, actually he was smart and criticize about society issue, he have knowladge, Zelensky have brilliant joke just like George Callin method about culture devide in Ukriane, when he runing campaign for president he promise to make a peace in donbass. but he change now, it seem he got circling by the ultra-nationalist influence, and US-UK intelligent are waging war to click bait russia to enter the conflict in east ukraine. so he change his ordinary views. sad 😢😮

😂😂😂😂

How was it a fatal mistake to ensure the national language was taught in all schools? Especially considering that those areas were aggressively russified under the soviet union, and the muscovite empire before it.

@@1midnightfish talk about long time ago that never be an issue in america since revolution free from british. so why must be a problem. can you imagine china reject the chinese language because they against taiwanese? 😂 can you imagine if berlgian ethic live in german or netherland ethnic live in german then they cant speak own language. maybe it can be happen if EU collapse

What nonsense! If it were Russian they wouldn't be part of Ukraine. Back in 91. Your some kind of troll...

russia is not Ukraine's "brother" and what most Ukrainians actually want is for russian occupiers to go back home and leave them the hell alone. If you want the war to stop go tell putin

Tell that to the people of Mariupol who were Russian native.

@@kadovax6567 tell to ukrain people from East... they know nazist azov..... do you know ????

?? They very fluently speak their native language.

@@1midnightfish Some are slow.The funny thing when they are in dire situations they prefer to talk in Russian as the mova will impede their vocal speed and hence can cause a disaster for them.Check battle videos of Asov.Kracken ect.

@@devansa125 The funny thing is that nobody needs you to tell them that some Ukrainian soldiers often communicate in russian - we know . I've seen some battlefields videos, and also follow a number a number of military bloggers who do sometimes talk about language - some have Ukrainian as a first language, some russian, some habitually speak surzhyk, and switch from one to the other as the situation requires. In a crisis it makes sense to use one's easiest language, and which language that is depends on the person at that particular moment (for me, for example, my easiest language is my second, not my first). You don't actually deserve this much typing - I'm writing this for anyone else who may come across this thread at some point. And in that spirit, I'll mention a language-related fact that happened in Ukraine a month or so ago: a well-know university lecturer, blogger and TV personality (Iryna Farion) lost her job after stating in an interview that any Ukrainian who still speaks russian, she does not consider to be Ukrainian; she singled out russian speakers in the armed forces. And while she did get some public support, overall Ukrainians didn't like that at all, and nor did the authorities and her employer. So much for the persecution of russian speakers in Ukraine.

@@1midnightfish But you have to understand that all russian speaking AFU will be second class if ,big if,Ukraine can finish this war.For me it is a hopeless situation for Ukraine not because of the Russian armed forces but how ukranian treat each other.It is a real civil war at its best.

@@devansa125 What rubbish. It is obvious to anyone paying even passing attention that there is no civil war in Ukraine, not even the one that putin & co have been trying to fuel for years. And no russian-speaking person is or ever will be a second class citizen of Ukraine, as long as they follow the law and use Ukrainian when required, i.e. when providing a service to others. Which they will be able to do, because most Ukrainians are bilingual. I myself have a russophone Ukrainian relative, who is really happy to see Ukrainian gaining more and more traction in the country. The current aversion to the russian language in the wider population is completely understandable, considering it's the language of the attempted genocide. Reintegration of the occupied territories will be a challenge, but there are already people working on how to do this in whatever way is best for the country and the population. No one - NO ONE - will miss the occupiers once they're gone. The collaborators will just follow them when they go, unless SBU gets to them first. It will take a while, but Ukraine will emerge from this latest attempt to destroy it, and transition into the bright future it is now fighting so hard for.

Link, please? Otherwise, it's just bs.

Clearly not.
