If the point is to get people on your side, being as abrasive and unpleasant as possible isn’t going to get people to view your cause well.
Because that war had a popular face of defiance: Zelensky. He spoke on behalf of everyone on the side of Ukraine. The government mostly moved in lockstep with public opinion too.
Unfortunately the public is bored of him and he's not so popular now that all the expensive tanks are burning in a minefield and the money to repair them has been spend on sports cars, hookers and blow but you can't win em all

Also we're seeing other figures of the Zelensky government try and take the limelight (or shift the blame) now too, but it's like meeting up with some very shady characters to plan a mission in GTAIV.
