For me the subtext of the video came across as “this is horrific for the working class of both countries and should stop”, which is literally the correct take.
"war is bad and should stop", when removed from context and analysis is not a take, it's a platitude.
The fact that he whitewashes the West's role in the war, pretends Ukraine is not a country with a significant Russian-friendly minority, and puts the blame for the war's consequences and continuation on Russia means that his "war is bad and should stop" ends up being an endorsement of NATO's position - that only Russia can and should take measures to stop the war, and that any escalation from the West is justified.
