It's an hour video, but he describes the thoroughly, describes various ideas why things don't work out. He notes that Russia is winning, but it seems they only have plans how to fight on, but not how to make this peace. The core of the problem is that this is a five state deadlock (US, UK, Europe, Ukraine, Russia), war aims are different even on the "allied" side, and noone knows how to end the war.
