To be fair we (that's the collective "we" representing western nations) worsen their financial issues with our sanctions.
That doesn't mean the sanctions are not deserved, and Putin may deserve all the blame from his actions in Ukraine, but I could understand where a Russian may dislike us for hurting their wallets.
Additionally, if it came out that US had some sort of hand in keep Saudi's oil production up to keep oil prices low, I don't think too many people would be shocked.
