Now I wonder whether this information got to His Majesty after his initial remark about making a deal and led to his abandonment of Ukraine. (Smart Russians would have made sure it did reach him.) He may now be assuming he can get a good deal from his buddy Putin by leaving the mineral-rich areas under Russian occupation.
Timely and helpful! Thanks, Vince!

Thanks Meg. I fear you are on to something...
