It's hard to tell with these people. He seems to be appealing to the readers racism under a thin veil of righteousness to manufacture consent for more weapon aid which won't help Ukraine nearly as much as it would the western MIC. Does Russia even want to take Kyiv? At the moment it doesn't look like it to me but depending on the nature of whatever rabid escalation USA and its European thralls do in the future things could change.
The funniest part for me was the framing that the west isn't supplying more weapons simply cause there's a lack of will to do so. These people still don't understand that there aren't weapons to send.
Perhaps they do, but they want the audience to think otherwise. The reason is obvious: even if the weapons aren't there and there's no industrial capacity to produce them in adequate quantities - MIC contractors can squeeze the most out of the situation.
You gotta think outside the box. There's more than 7,000 bricks in a typical Western European house. All you need is for the MIC to bolt some fins on and design (and build and sell) a launch system and the war could go on. Europeans just aren't willing to sacrifice hard enough.
I think Russia definitely wanted to take it really early on. However, at this point, it would seem that simply holding onto Eastern Ukraine looks like the most coherent option, as it is majority Russian speaking and don't seem to be really bothered that they are under Russian control.
