That video is part of what I find so frustrating about the Ukraine war. Usually, there is all sorts of B.S. concocted to support military intervention on the basis of trying to establish freedom/democracy for the poor downtrodden citizens of the foreign nation, when it's usually profit (access to natural resources) that are the main goal.
The Ukraine war is all about freedom/democracy (no artificial rationalization required) and surprise, surprise, support is either lukewarm or outright opposed. I get that the whole problem is that there is no profit motive. However, if you are going to sing and dance about being a champion of democracy to justify military action even when it's not really true, when it is true, support should be a kind of default position, even if only to lend credence to the next song and dance when you want to invade purely based on a profit motive.
