The course as a holistic introduction to Ukraine as a young and developing country could be supported with the references to cultural, music, voklorique treasure to more or larger extent or at least equally to chronology and history of wars.

As it stated in the course, right from mid 17th century the spread within Ukraine for West and East become visible. This idea could be accentuated and stressed with more insights and facts, reasoning and giving the ideas to why's of today's Ukraininal polivence and polarity of developments.

Also the recent developments, after 2014 would be an interesting material to add.

In the information hype of 2022 events, a special chapter on Ukrainian natural resources, geopolitical location would raise the interest of thousands Europeans.

Mediocre account of Ukraine. I think more people are interested in learning about current history in Ukraine than about medieval history which I skipped.
