I truly don’t know for sure, but if I had to guess it’s something like “this woman is a guinea pig sent forth by the Israeli government to see what happens when people complicit in genocide reveal the exact nature of the crimes, and to test whether their institutions will protect someone like a whistleblower from international law”

While the US budget is financially in freefall, that could be remedied very easily (with a more competent administration) and won’t meaningfully impede its ability to aid Ukraine. Russia, on the other hand, can be screwed by extreme expenses.
