I remember reading a report, I think by Bellingcat, which said that there was:
1. A lot of embezzlement by FSB agents in Ukraine, who thought they could get away with it since surely there wouldn't be an invasion.
2. Many targets would take the money, promise to help overthrow the government, and then not do anything when the time came.
