Ukraine is a poor country. Like Russia, like Belarus.
The pipeline was supposed to be deadlined completely after nord stream 2.
Ukraine does have a few resources, but the most it has is grain. That could be a thing, but I doubt it.

Hence Putin going "fuck it, I'll get the old one then". That timeline and explanation makes more sense than a smart 69yo mafia boss, at the peak of his powers, just throwing it all away over some ideological bullshit.
