If at any point it seems like Ukraine's most corrupt hoodlums are about to get got, they will pull the trigger and bodies will start hitting the floor.
Furthermore, Ukraine is also leveraging their people to demand the US pay them to stay afloat, otherwise all their blackmail starts coming out as well.
Ukraine is exceptionally corrupt, and they have their own people and the West's most vile characters by the balls. One wrong move by Russia, and they'll start shouting "IF I'M GOING DOWN, YOU'RE GOING DOWN WITH ME!"
When faced with a no-win scenario, it's smart to assume that criminals will invariably self-destruct so that they may at least rule over the ashes. With this in mind, the most sound strategy in any war is to always permit your enemy to think they are winning up until the point you're able to wrestle the gun out of their hand or at the very least have your snipers in position to take the shot should the criminal decide to end it all ahead of schedule.
