I don't know if Russia is actually losing, but you would think that after two years, they would have defeated the Ukrainians. This video, as you say, is Russian propaganda. It does make some valid points about the weaknesses of the national armed forces of the European countries, especially Germany, France, and Britain. However, their claims about Finnish and Polish military resigning are nonsensical. The Finns and especially the Poles have had bad experiences under Tsarist and Soviet Russia. If Russia, under Putin or his successor, decided to recreate the Soviet Union/Tsarist Empire, they will not go down lightly. One statement that is nonsensical is the claim that the European Union will demand conscription of its members. The EU has no armed forces of its own. Two of its members, Austria and Ireland, are neutral in any case. So is non-member Switzerland. The more remote countries to the borders of Russia, like Portugal or Slovenia, have no skin in the game.
