I'd just like to point out that both sides use essentially the same language and the same equipment. How hard do you think would it be, for the Ukrainians to gather 20 soldiers, have them stand in line listening to a "Russian officer" spouting demotivating bullshit, then release it on Russian internet to try and rile people up?
Also the context. A video like this would make more sense if it had come out or were related to the Kharkiv or Kherson retreats, not when the Russians are gaining ground and there are rumors of an ofenssive from the north.

Are the captions in the video accurate? If true this seems like a bizzare way to motivate troops headed to the frontline.
If you take the words literarily it is bizzare. But such words is never meant by letters and shouldn't be listened literarily.

It echos the battle speech of Maximus in movie "Gladiator".

“Hold the line! Stay with me! If you find yourself alone, riding in the green fields with the sun on your face, do not be troubled. For you are in Elysium [Heaven], and you’re already dead! Brothers, what we do in life… echoes in eternity.”

Anybody enterring a battle has a very high chance of dying, hiding this fact isn't going to help them, making death a "nothing" is probably more helping in their survival. Soldiers should not be treated as Children.

I think Russia may have the best assault infantry in the world now, second best may be Ukraine. Simply due to ferocity of the fighting over the last few years and their dogged fatalism.

I hope PLA never have to gain such experience because the price is steep, preferably crush enemies with industrial weight
