In a country like Poland (or Finland for that matter), you cannot express even mildly Russophilic ideas too openly, but must remain at least semi-closeted, hiding behind causes like this:
Over 70% of Poles support nationwide farmer protests, survey reveals

More than 72 percent of Polish citizens have thrown their support behind the farmer protests that have swept the nation, according to the latest survey results.
The poll, conducted by IBRiS pollster for the paper Rzeczpospolita, found that 51.6 percent of respondents strongly support the demonstrations, with an additional 21.2 percent somewhat in favor. Only about 10 percent of those surveyed express strong opposition to the protests.
This widespread support comes even as farmers have caused significant disruptions, including blocking major roads and, in some instances, clashing with police. The protests have been contentious, with actions such as throwing paving stones at police officers and obstructing ambulance routes drawing criticism.
Marcin Duma, from IBRiS, suggests that the robust backing for the protesting farmers stems from two main concerns among the Polish populace: fear of the European Green Deal and growing resentment towards Ukrainians.
“Support for the demonstrations is a proxy for expressing critical views of the European Green Deal and a safe way to manifest anti-Ukrainian sentiments,” Duma explained. He believes that Poles view Ukrainians as competitors, despite the ongoing war against a common enemy, and perceive the authorities in Kyiv as ungrateful. Supporting the protests, according to Duma, offers a “safe path” to bypass political correctness and indirectly target Ukraine.

So this is the kind of stuff that Western mainstream media now sees fit to present to normies - they cannot yet admit that Ukraine is losing, they are currently in the "bargaining" stage of grief and are arguing that things at the front have reached a "dead end," or that it is essentially a draw now.
And yet, it is still significant that they are now telling people that "Ukraine does not have the strength for a new offensive." For nothing raised up the spirits of Uke-supporters in the West like those vaunted counteroffensives in late 2022, they were like the golden days of pro-Ukrainian cause.

I have to admit that the Ukes do have certain logic in this position of theirs: they are pouring out insane amounts of their blood, and thus have the "right" to demand very open-handed material support from the West. The Soviets thought likewise in the WW II, that the Lend-Lease aid was the very least that Western Allies could do to make up for the huge sacrifices they were making with their own blood, and thus they did not have to be grateful for it, as it was only what they were rightfully due to receive:
