It doesn't need to. If the deal they cut with the US nets them a wealthy life in a pretty place by a lake after all is said and done, it'll all've been worth it. And they might even actually get what they were promised!
I mean, look at that Chechen terrorist, the "president in exile" one, whatever the fuck his name was, he doesn't deserve one anyway.
It's doesn't matter what they think. What matters is they continue to lick the boot of their masters. They, like the leaders of Ukraine, are more than likely fine with sacrificing their people for a pat on the head.
