I think it's also important to draw a distinction before and after key revelatory events like the invasion of Crimea and Donbas in 2014 and the Salisbury Novichock poisonings in 2018.
Trade with Russia and donations from Russian entities was increasingly cynical since 2018's poisonings which left few in doubt about Russia's way of working.
