Curtailing aid to Ukraine will only prolong the war, Mr Zelensky argues. And it would create risks for the West in its own backyard. There is no way of predicting how the millions of Ukrainian refugees in European countries would react to their country being abandoned. Ukrainians have generally “behaved well” and are “very grateful” to those who sheltered them. They will not forget that generosity. But it would not be a “good story” for Europe if it were to “drive these people into a corner”.

Truly wild that this is coming from him and not some kind of spooky RuZZian disinformation bot, it is predicated on the idea that Ukrainian refugees are a fifth column of stochastic terror just waiting to happen. Given these are the people who chose life over throwing themselves into the grinder out of nationalist fervour, I'm not convinced of that.

Is this meant as a threat that they sent a few dozen SBU among the refugees?

Most likely. You are correct that overwhelming most of Ukrainian economic migrants and refugees don't want to have nothing to do with that war, as observed by them not getting back to fight and UA government forbidding people to leave and trying to extradite those that left. But in case there is really SBU or other org terror in Europe, all Ukrainians in the EU will suddenly be treated like danger and the usual spiral of hatred and opression will follow, and those ordinary people will then be worked upon by the SBU to radicalize them further, textbook terrorist cell making straight from CIA manuals.

Honestly wouldn't be surprised to hear in a few years that the CIA explicitly taught such tactics to them. They could always pass it off to western Europe as something that would be used against Russia, knowing that when a third of the weapons shipped to Ukraine don't make it to the front lines, there's going to be lots of opportunities to destabilise western Europe if they get uppity at any point.

Or he's happy to throw Ukrainian refugees under the bus. If fear mongering and xenophobia forces them back it's just more meat for the grinder.
