Half truths
entej7 May 2023
I enjoyed this documentary but they only were giving information that was convenient for the purpose of the movie and leaving out half of the facts. For example that there was no "military occupation" of Crimea, a referendum has been held about joining to Russia as a autonomous territory, information on that has been left out completely and whole situation has been presented and unwilling taking over of the land.

Same thing was with 24 February 2023. Not even a word that a referendum has also been held, hence after "joining" war started as a reason to protect the country.

To be said, I hate Putin but as a Ukrainian myself after that documentary and watching interviews of that joke of a president, I hate Zelenskyy even more now. Zero knowledge in politics, zero knowledge how to deal with people who has massive ego like Putin. He is the one who led country to this, he tried to play a big boss and now country and people are suffering because of this.

Only half the truth
dusadomovine3 February 2023
This is a well produced piece of content that has the appearance of a documentary but it does not dig deep to find the truth. This is a typical western (American) black or white good and evil presentation with the Russians being "the bad guys".

There is a deeper truth. Why would Putin take such action in Ukraine is not investigated. Does Russia feel threatened by the economic imperialism of "Western Oligarchs"? Maybe Russia does not want to be a victim of American imperialism as was Hawaii. I wonder how many Americans know the truth about how Hawaii became a state. I wonder if Hunter Biden's shenanigans in Ukraine are a sympton of American imperialism in Ukraine? If Russia is under attack, does Putin have the right to defend himself?

How odd that there is no discussion about geopolitics and Halford Mackinder's. Theory of the "Heartland". American has been trying to get it's foot into the Heartland for decades - first via Iraq, then Afghanistan, and now Ukraine.

Also of interest is the large supply of rare earth element resources in Ukraine estimated to be valued up to $13 trillion dollars.

To know truth, we need both sides of the story.

This is only one side.
