As much as I don't want to see Ukraine give up an inch, I would hate it even more if the Western support drops off and lose their advantage in negotiations. I would not want to be Zelenskyy, that is for sure.
This is Putin's game plan, he's been actively getting the FSB to work with right wing elements in many countries. These guys are sloppy and they aren't even changing the messaging between the countries. Like the PRO group in Prague literally uses "Czech First" recycled slogans ex. "America First". Lots of the Czech "protestors"/Russians are running around with "Z" and Russian flags and anti-NATO effigies in some of those videos.

Just like in Serbia and Georgia with the recent pro-Russian, foreign news laws that Russian backed political parties were trying to push there. It's Russian backed protests masquerading as legitimate political opposition and eroding support for Ukraine. Some get turned back at the border, others manage to find local backing. Zelensky is in a tough spot, this Ukraine spring offensive needs to show results to stamp out a lot of this "settle by ceding territory" Russian position that a lot of the NATO country right wingers are pushing.
