Zelenskyy knows that Trump won't be paying billions into the Ukraine economy anymore. American taxpayers have been paying to keep the Ukraine economy from collapsing, even paying Ukraine government pensions. That's gotta' stop.
Russia will get to keep the land that they illegally stole from Ukraine. They'll get away with the slaughter of Ukrainian civilians that they did. And they'll get to keep the thousands of Ukrainian children that they have kidnapped. It'd disgusting, but that's the way it's going to go.
Russia will get that in exchange for promising not to illegally invade anyone else. That's the 'deal' that's coming down ... betchya.
Ukraine is/was the breadbasket of Europe. It had a strong economy as a sovereign state.
The reason Russia wants Ukraine, is because of its resources and the wealth they convey.
The reason for the Maidan protests against Russia was the perception that Russia was siphoning of the wealth of Ukraine into the pockets of Russian oligarchs and the bellies of Russian citizens and was not compensating Ukraine adequately.
