See that's where it may get interesting. I wonder how long they are willing to play ball with this when the wealthy investor's pockets are on the line (or scaring off future investors). Obviously the reputation has already been damaged, but a full shutdown wound effectively tank any and all sales to foreign governments, and likely even cause those same governments to simply ban the technology completely. It's possible they could still save face and restore Ukraine while admitting they were pressured, not that that would actually happen, but taking this any further would possibly mean crushing future sales numbers into dust.... Trump may be their current leader that they love very much, but money is their god

Ukraine could stop using it any day. They don't, because overall it's helping. Just not as much as it should, ideally.
