These days, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are successfully recapturing their territories, and the myth of the Russian army has been destroyed. But at the very beginning, the situation was different. Russian troops approached Kyiv and were going to take it. Not only Putin, but also the West believed this was possible. Then one of the most important events of this war happened - the battle for Kyiv. With incredible efforts and, frankly, miraculously, it was possible not only to defend the city, but also to change the course of history. What role did Zelensky and the courage of individual soldiers play in all this? How difficult was it to resist the onslaught of the Russian army? All in this video by Michael Nacke - a Russian opposition journalist, currently living in exile in Europe.
