I think the idea behind the mineral rights deal is that the US would have a stake in Ukraine's economy and sovereignty. These minerals being critical to the US, including defense. The implication is that if Russia interfered with our interests there would be some sort of consequences. Especially if US companies had a presence in Ukraine. Just not a military presence. That's my take.
