Don’t they understand the damage this is causing? Are they idiots?
You could just as well ask exactly the same question to the Ukrainian truckers who break the agreement with EU, and the Ukrainian road police who forces foreign trucks to pay bribes, and Ukrainian ministry of transport who causes them all kinds of problems - are they idiots, don’t they understand the damage they’re causing?
As you’ve probably noticed, I’m 100% for Ukraine against Russian aggression, but these behaviours are precisely the “Russian world” Ukraine is fighting against. As I said before, Ukrainian road police aren’t soldiers, and their enemy isn’t EU truckers - they’re just corrupt, greedy bastards, who can’t get USSR out of their heads, even if it’s hurting their country.

Turns out it could be more complicated than that: https://social.kyiv.dcomm.net.ua/@September_UA/111456523589452510
That's no definite proof of Russia's involvement of course, a lot of people who take part in such protests maintain ties to their local political parties who might've been friendly towards Russia, before the war some could even appear on RT using it as an extra opportunity to be heard, but that's still something to consider. Russia's agents in Europe are extremely cunning!
