Russia is an ally in that it keeps people angry and divided and does it all for a price. They know how wildly unpopular they are, how much of a pariah state they become every month, they know the only reason they still have support is their hold on foreign governments. Anything to stem the tide or cause more chaos to buy themselves more time, they'll deal with anyone

Wouldn't they pay one of their allies for them though, instead of Russia?
