Now I get it, it seems that Putin might get much more than I thought. Russia already has tons of these resources, they don't need it.
Essentially get 4 'oblasts' and Crimea they control fully annexed directly and formally recognized with Ukraine withdrawing from what they now hold there too (for Russia to stop the war), and the rest of Ukraine stays as a Russian proxy through new 'elections' (for minerals).
Trump gets the face through these minerals and resources from the rest of the Ukraine, since that's all he cares about. They could recoup the losses somewhat in that way they think. Also, all sanctions lifted and funds returned to Russians, the EU will gradually fall in line too.
For Trump, this is mostly political. I don't think they realistically believe that they can get any strategic partnerships regarding China now.
In the meantime, UN peacekeepers, Ukraine's total 100% demilitarization, and demoralization, with no Europeans involved in anything.
No NATO, no Western troops, Zelensky and other current leaders either eliminated, in jail, or in escape, a new administration comes.
Russia's buildup, for a few years, until finally taking the rest too easy as the US collapses during a Taiwan confrontation against China.
Then they also take the rest of Ukraine, which would now be much easier to conquer & assimilate and divide it with neighbors like Poland.
The UN peacekeepers can't do anything, they do not fight, the US would have collapsed when China took Taiwan, alongside the EU.
Edit: For those who didn't get it, the war obviously still continues now until the remaining Western resources are depleted since there won't be any/many new ones coming, Zelensky gets couped in some way, and Russia advances in the remaining small parts of 4 'oblasts' easily next.
