paying for a one page ad in a newspaper is not the same as "paying for a protest".

I paid money to buy posterboard and magic markers to make a sign. Does that mean the "protests was paid" by me?

Telling that these grievances all center around foreign policy and trade. "We uphold the commitments we make!" YOU can uphold the commitments YOU make with MY tax dollars, I'll just go and mind my own business.

If I were to feel inclined to fight in the streets, it would be over the unlawful deportation of my neighbors, the genocide my government is financing, or my right to live as a woman and love who I deem fit. Ukraine will simply never be on my list of priorities.
