In this episode of The Perspicacious Perspective, I break down the long, complex history behind the war in Ukraine. I explore the country’s Soviet roots, the Holodomor famine, Chernobyl, and Ukraine’s struggle for independence, all the way to the ongoing conflict over Crimea. There’s much more to this story than what the headlines typically show.

I walk through pivotal events like the Orange Revolution, Euromaidan, the rise of President Zelensky, and Russia’s influence on the region. I also examine the Minsk agreements, the MH17 tragedy, the church schism, and the strategic importance of Donetsk and Luhansk, connecting all the dots that led to full-scale war.

With international discussions about a potential Russian-Ukraine ceasefire gaining attention, understanding the historical and geopolitical context has never been more important. Join me for a detailed, thought-provoking, and accessible exploration of why there is a war in Ukraine—and how it impacts the world today.
