He should now offer rare earth minerals to the EU.
Fuck yes! But also ask for a defensive military presence.
Pretty sure they're already working on it
EU membership includes a defense alliance. UA "just" has to join the EU. Unfortunately the country (economy and social systems) is not yet ready for that.
The absolute funniest outcome would be Ukraine offering the same deal to the EU and the EU counteroffering with "how about you offer us half that because supporting you benefits us all"
half, and a EU membership.
Hell... Why not EU membership with no mineral rights?
Even taking Russia out of the equation, Europe would greatly benefit from Ukraine producing minerals and selling them to their allies at a fair rate.
even better!
Actually I'd like amend my "funniest thing" claim.
It would be the BEST if the EU offered membership and protection in exchange for 100% of Ukraine's "raw earth" with a line in the contract recognizing that such a thing does not exist
Absolutely. I'm willing to bet that's what will happen after the EU meeting he's going to attend.
