On the notorious "minerals deal".

Given Zelensky is not a legitimate president - as well as the 
whole clique of his henchmen - the "deal" is based on quite a
shaky base.

Anyway it may - or may not - be somehow useful. At this stage,
Zelensky doesn't really give a shit about anything other than
his personal concerns, including "security guarantees". In the
current situation he is a de facto dictator, and he can take 
away or redistribute Ukraine-situated properties any way he 
pleases. He is afraid any "external" control over the regime's
budgets will shake his position where he retains full control.
