Please explain why this community (c/europe) is so pro Russia? Genuinely curious as to why. (lemmy.nz)

You wouldn't think of a European community of being so insanely pro Russia, yet on every single post mentioning Russia, any negative comments about Russia or their government will get downvoted to hell, some people get banned. I would not be surprised if I am banned or downvoted for posting this. People who are not just blatantly spamming Kremlin propaganda, please say why you are so pro Russia, to someone confused.

Lemmy.ml is broadly federated, so anything that suggests Ukraine may not be winning the war is down voted by people from Lemmy.world, etc.

that is right. My posts, which show the reality of Ukraine get downvoted. My posts/comments that criticize Russia get upvotes.

There are many Lemmy.ml users critically supportive of Russia. Posting anti-Ukrainian or pro-Russian content on a community on Lemmy.ml gets higher upvotes and fewer down votes/removals than other instances. This is being perceived as being more pro-Russian by OP.
