Russia has been sowing division around the world, ie. hiring people to commit terror or antisemetic grafiti etc.
The point of this, is that divided societies are less strong, and more vulnerable to being influenced, so they have a higher success rate in promoting pro-russia far right parties.

Anything that throws more sand into the gears of western allies is to the benefit of a rival. Make people more afraid, make anything more expensive, more inconvenient, etc etc, until we throw our own countries into chaos.
It can potentially weaken the party in power if they don’t respond “appropriately”.
