yt-dlp seems to be able to get the video regardless of location.
Video is in French, and has no subtitles.
(yt-dlp gets the VTT file, but it appears to be empty).

This is what happened in WW2. Nobody was willing to negotiate with Hitler because it was apparent that he was utterly untrustworthy, as evidenced by his repeated aggressions through the 30s before WW2 finally broke out.
It's the same situation here. Nobody can possibly trust Putin. He's utterly untrustworthy and any treaty would presumably just be breathing space and time for Russia to continue building up its forces for another invasion, just like Hitler with, for example, the Munich Agreement. The fact is that Russia has invaded Ukraine in an act of imperial conquest under the leadership of Putin, and as a result it's very difficult to negotiate with him.

The person you replied to is saying that USA/NATO is untrustworthy, which I think is different from what you are saying.

"nobody can trust Putin" - it was admitted both by Merkel, and by another high ranked politician whose name I do not remember at this moment that the goal of Minsk agreement was not to give autonomy to Donbass, which did not accept ukranian nationalism, but to buy time for Ukrainian army to rearm.
So I think you are confusing things.

If someone in Russia could just remove Putin it would save a lot of Ukrainian and Russian lives.
