Except for the fact that he's making a lot of shit up, I'm from eastern europe and none of his stories about Poland, Lithuania and Kievan Rus were accurate at all.

Even if they were true, his point is that "we used to own Ukraine so we're going to kill people until we do again"

You know, like fascists do.

Also Wonder if he lost a word about the Kievan Rus' which would give Ukraine a stronger claim on russian territory than what Russia claims for Ukraine belonging to it. Not that you should go there but that whole line of arguing doesn't even work for itself

Of course he did not. That's why they removed the word Kievan from that term in History textbooks, it's now just Rus, no Kiev
