No interest in watching two men I hate lie to each other.
The only man desperate enough to give a platform to Putin to spout lies. Ukraine existed before Russia and the people have no common thread.
Moscow was founded by Scandinavians who were later run out of existence by the Mongol hordes.
Kiev stayed under the rule of the Kievan Rus from who Russia later stole the name Russia based on some fabricated story like the one Putin is pedaling here to hide the fact that their real history is one of slavery and subjugation under the Mongols.

And this shouldn't even be a big deal. What group of people haven't been subjugated at some point in their history? Collectively, I suspect that nearly all peoples have been. Certainly it is a bigger conversation with modern, more recent slavery, involving forced migration, but it doesn't change what happened either. The US and some European countries face this topic (as the subjugators) and are talking about it with varying degrees of honesty.
Why hide from it?
No matter what you try to call it - it's Russian propaganda. Ignore it. Move on.
If this whole thing is about de-nazification then why all the talk about how Ukraine and Russia are historically intertwined?
Pff, whatever. Obvious land grab is obvious.
