It makes people indifferent to the plight of the Ukrainians and promotes both sides-ism. Too many smart, intelligent, totally normally people that I usually respect and go to advice for, when asked about the Ukraine war have the opinion that 'Russia shouldn't have invaded but it was America's fault anyway because wavy hands. American should tell Ukraine to stop fighting and give up the land the belonged to Russia(USSR) anyway'. edit: I mis-read your post and got the reverse intention. Here's the reverse answer. By presenting Russia as on the brink of implosion, it gives the impression that the Ukrainians just have to hold on for a little bit more and everything bad will go away.
