"They say Russia and Ukraine are one people. No. They are like two siblings who
share the same ancestry but grew up in different homes. The older
one-Ukraine-had one set of teachers and friends. The younger-Russia-had
another.

For centuries they lived side-by-side, borrowing and resenting, until history
shoved them under one roof. One became the dependable worker who kept the
household running. The other, the favored child, insisted on being the "big
sister," sure she knew best.

Whenever the family business collapsed-1917, then 1991-Ukraine reached for the
door to write her own story. Moscow read that not as independence, but as
betrayal. And a family quarrel curdled into the most dangerous kind of war:
intimate, bitter, personal.

Tonight we're going past headlines to the roots: how invasions, famine, energy
pipelines, and propaganda turned sisters into enemies-and why this war is less
about territory than about who gets to define reality."
