@bonifartius The part where it says "In Russia people were living a normal life" I felt very mixed feelings, but mostly the fact that Western life is based on war first and then some aesthetic of normal (i.e. it's only been normal for a short period of time and just 1 or 2 generations back was pretty brutal... so for me it's this fakeness that maybe people don't see in their own life (forget if you can Ukrainian for this context)- so the normal person is living under ignorance themself or false umbrella that came from war and still needs it in order for people to keep paying for it in taxes.
Many people probably feel morally they are respecting other by paying but don't see the 10% of good it might do is 90% paying for war mentality of progress and equipment (including supplying those others!). Whoops...
Of course the video and subtitles can't be perfect but they are not far from the truth with these image of normal perhaps

walking (maybe to work)
- people crowded
protesting
- people crowded
concert hall

Speech, possibly right-wing
Foam party
then it's like
"Meanwhile Russian soldier were slaughtered in Chechnya"
And I got mixed feelings of yeah ok I get it (and might feel slightly different as I get it takes time to process)...BUT right now
After seeing the dead soldiers
I say compassionately "That's what you went for"
Even though their reasoning for going to war could be + / - / ~ I'm 'quite' sure they had lots of time to think about it.
I have more to say but later...
