I agree with that as well. It’s a catch 22 either way. They step back and even help Russia and get minerals or they extort them. If I were in their position I would agree to the mineral deal once an aid package is secured, then prevent it from happening due to “security concerns” etc. and then just turn around and say fuck you or say I need more in order to ensure srcurity and safety, there’s landmines/unexploded ordinance, etc. and it just never happens due to equipment and business people getting “stuck” in customs forever due to ever changing requirements and regulations.
