Show me WikiLeaks that are critical of Russia in a way in which makes Putin look like he's the problem... Yet, we've got hundreds of anti-US (or other countries) leaks that when you read them help the cause of Russia and Putin. Assange was a Russian operative, willing or unwilling.

An English language website almost entirely run by five eyes citizens would immediately get called out as propaganda by most Russians.

That being said, they do have a Russian section on their website, it's just not a priority for the reason above.

If I criticize the US but do not criticize Russia in the same breath, does that mean I'm a Russian operative? Your logic does not make sense.

If leaked Russian documents surface and Wikileaks refuses to publish them... that's a different story.

Another person in the comments linked to an article mentioning them turning down Russian government leaks: https://foreignpolicy.com/2017/08/17/wikileaks-turned-down-l...
Wikileaks has said that they didn't accept them because they couldn't verify their authenticity.
