Go back and study the history of the fall of the USSR. Almost every satellite country of the USSR has or had valuable resources underground. Putin know this well, from uranium, bauxite, lithium, coal, oil (oil fields all over Russia but they can't get to most of it through frozen ground). Sure, it may be all about the land on the surface, but it's what is under the surface that counts. (did I just make a pun?)
The to be brokered may be: Give me unfettered access, keep your land. And that might be the deal for all the other former satellites to keep Russia off their backs if they are not joined to NATO. My wild and crazy guess.
