Showing public solidarity has a number of advantages, and it's unlikely Russia would be unaware of such developments for long.

Announcements often encourage other countries to follow suit with additional help. Lots of countries announcing aid also helps spread the backlash from Russia around. It's easy for them to bully a handful of countries; its much harder when it's dozens of countries.
