I am just guessing here, but supporting anyone but the Zelensky side would most assuredly get you shot in the back. Look how many Pro Trump Americans are protesting in front of Congress now that they found out they will be throwin in the Gulag.
Oh, no. Your guess is not particularly good.
I am actually surprised (and Putin too!) of the level of support Zelensky got from the Russian sympathizers in Ukraine.
The biggest difference between Russians and Ukrainians is the motivation.
If everybody hated Zelensky, there would be no motivation on the Ukrainian side.
Instead, even the former Russian sympathizers enrolled en masse in defending the Ukraine!
This cannot be ordered or forced by bullets!
