It starts with images of the collapse of the Berlin Wall, and a news report in 1989. It then goes into an explanation of the Cold War and the USSR - citing the Ukraine as one of the founding members after the Russian Revolution. The power point then introduces Putin and his beliefs - cites his hatred of Tsar Nicholas II and Mikhail Gorbachev, and outlines his key beliefs in terms of Russia’s relationship with the Ukraine.
The final section focuses on how the war in the Ukraine is impacting on the rest of the world with rising energy prices; the refugee crisis and potential escalation. It ends with 24th February 2022 BBC news clip showing the Russian invasion of the Ukraine.
