Good summary video! I think his TLDW (at around min ~13:50) is about the same as the general opinion regarding that conflict:

- Russia feeling threatened by NATO expansion

- Ukraine having plenty of natural ressources

- Building the infrastructure to harvest the natural ressources by western companies would mean closer ties to the west and accelerated EU / NATO membership talks and also less dependence of the west on Russias energy (or a direct competition)
