it’s that the sheep will never turn on their precious Ukrainians.

They won't turn on the government, they don't actually care about the people (or they would be pushing for peace accords). If the AFU comes around asking them to deport refugees back so that they can be conscripted, they will probably glady do so. Because of course the brave plucky Ukrainians must want to fight. Anyone who doesn't must be a Russian sympathizer/not a real Ukrainian.
