Yuri let's him get it all out, not in a rush to butt in. He's not exactly thrilled to be having this conversation. Luke may not have killed all those people, but he stood for everything Yuri had hated for a long still. Still hated. If it wasn't so obvious that he was trying, Yuri would have been more than happy to leave him to the wolves.

“You can't just walk the walk. Jaeger pilots are heroes--That's the PR. If you can't make that work for you, they'll never put you in a machine, doesn't matter if you're the best pilot of the whole crop." He arched a brow. "And there's no guarantee you'll be drift compatible with this friend of yours."

The last statement was probably unfair, but he didn't want Guy to drift with Luke, him being an ex-spoiled rich kid the least of those reasons.
