"Why?"

It's what he still doesn't understand. If it isn't that Yuri wants to hide this because he thinks it should be a secret, and it's not that Yuri changed his mind, there's no immediate reason Victor can think of for his reaction. "Yuri..."

Finally, he leans forward again, one hand lifting, a little hesitant and ready to pull back if Yuri flinches away, to rest gently on Yuri's leg, the closest part of him Victor can reach without moving further back towards him. "Calm down. Tell me why you're so upset."

It doesn't always work. Sometimes Yuri only gets more frustrated when Victor asks him to calm down, or to talk to him, to try and explain what he's feeling. Sometimes it helps, like what Yuri needs is a specific answer to focus on, in order to keep his anxieties from spinning out of control.

But Victor can't fix this unless he knows what's wrong, and it's obvious to him that he won't be able to figure it out simply by guessing.
