They'll invest into the Rosgeo JV assets, taking them to DFS level and then either production, or, sale similar to the ongoing MT sale.
They're at Monchegorsk for a very long time, the recent new license application there points to that. Circa 9 month minimum for an application to run through their standard process, we'll all see if the ERDC agreement makes any difference to it all. Then, they have to prove things up to DFS level to arrive at the decision to take an asset to production or not. DFS is the only way to figure out if the asset if financially viable to develop or not, so, they have to run through the process for all assets in all scenarios.
Of course, there is also the scenario where the Ukraine situation could begin to be resolved and the geopolitical situation calm down somewhat also, something we all hope for to be fair.
