From the transcript
So, this 2014 intentions are high between Russia and Ukraine. Crimea, a region in Ukraine with a majority ethnic Russian population has long been a point of contention between the two countries. In February 2014, protests in Ukraine led to the ousting of the pro-Russian president Viktor Yanukovych.
This was seen as a threat to Russian interests in the region, and in response, Russian forces moved into Crimea and took control of the region. The annexation was met with international condemnation, with many countries accusing Russia reviolating international law and the sovereignty of Ukraine.
