You have it ass backwards. Scummy Pooty invaded Ukraine to steal Ukrainian oil that is just offshore in the shallow waters of the Black Sea. Ukies and Western oil companies were doing exploration until Pooty invaded Crimea in 2014. Just about all Russian oil and gas is in very frigid regions, so it costs more to drill and transport out of them. Black Sea oil/gas is an easy score, due to it being in warm waters.
Donbass invasion is to steal Ukrainian coal there and the steel making works that have just been bombed to shit by Russians, By artillery too.
MORE>>> By invading and taking all lands bordering the northern Black Sea, the Russians kill Ukrainian grain exports that go out on ships. Which is the prime way that wheat and other grains and soybeans are transported internationally. In fact the Russians are blocking these already. Ukraine has large shipments of wheat that they want to ship out. Right now!
Thanks for the input.
Wheat price is incredibly high right now.
Many normal large production centers had a bad year on top of this, due to conditions. And add Covid Insanity to that and you have hungry people.
