It's how Donald has always done business. He would hire contractors to build his buildings, then wouldn't pay them because he knew they couldn't afford to sue him. They'd end up settling for what they were owed minus what the expected legal fees would be if they sued.
Whatever the deal is, Ukraine will be indentured to the U.S. under the threat that he just decides not to honour the deal and takes away any security guarantees. He will always demand more from them. It's how he operates.

The thing is, he's actually notorious for making pretty crappy deals. And then yeah, when he can refuse to pay and lawyer up over and over, the scheme of not paying back works. But that's not really how things are done in a country-to-country negotiations. He's signing things on behalf of the US government, not as a private entity that he can just direct to not send an e-transfer.
And he probably won't be the guy in charge by the time it comes to F anyone over anyways. It's a long-game play for Ukraine hopefully betting on the next US leader not being this clownshow. Trump has no long game. He'll be dead soon.
