I don't think you can learn anything of value from this. his channel is a PR channel where POWs will say whatever for good treatment. I think its pretty slimy and not a good representation of what russian soldiers actually think.
It's not really about validity or not. Vice doesn't make anything to inform you, it makes things to manipulate you, and they don't hide it. they're pretty slick at videography but you don't leave better informed, just manipulated. get your news somewhere else.
