He's doing what Mafia bosses always do.
"Nice two-thirds of a country you've got there. Be a shame if the supply of missiles dried up and the Russians took all of it..."
That's what he's intending to threaten them with. Zelensky's between a rock and a hard place. If he agrees, he loses a third of his country (in the knowledge - following past behaviour in Crimea - that the Russians will rebuild, regroup, grow a new generation of soldiers to adulthood, then come back for another go). Or he says no, the US pulls the plug on materiel, and the Russians are in Kiev by Easter.
Then the Russians rebuild, regroup, grow a new generation... and go after the Baltic states.
