Russia now controls $12.4 trillion worth of Ukraine's key natural resources, according to an analysis for The Washington Post by SecDev.

If the Kremlin succeeds in annexing Ukrainian land seized during Russia's invasion, Kyiv would permanently lose almost two-thirds of its deposits.

Moscow controls 63% of Ukraine's coal deposits, 11% of its oil, 20% of its natural gas, 42% of its metals, and 33% of its rare earths.

If the Kremlin succeeds in annexing Ukrainian land seized during Russia's invasion, Kyiv would lose almost two-thirds of its deposits, the report said, denying the country of its essential economic pillars.

Well, there it is finally. This is not about freedom, it is money driven, and it’s why the global elite, and the big guy, support Ukraine. There is a pot ‘o gold just waiting for someone to scoop up in Ukraine, and for now, the Russians have it. So, what’s a few hundred thousand lives and devastated cities? What’s a few billion dollars thrown into this abyss, when the final payday is worth TRILLIONS? And to be a little braggery, FReepers knew this from the beginning.

"Please think about what you're trying to say and repeat it in standard English."

The Russian language is written in Cyrillic, and he is comparing Putin to Saddam. Thus, Putin is a Russian Saddam.

Except the Globalists were NEVER going to permit Ukraine to use that wealth, as they’re in the process of LOCKING DOWN resources as part of the Climate Change agenda (just as they’re doing in every other country they control).

But now that Russia will have control, those resources will make it to the world market.

And if the thieving, raping, murdering Russians get away with stealing from Ukraine then who’s next?

Better to stop them now while they’re weak.

I was really surprised at the $12.4 trillion number, and I’d love to know what percentage of the total wealth this represents. It’s no wonder the West has tried to expand NATO.

When they say, “It’s not about the money”, it’s about the money.

Sure, it was all about nazis, wink, wink

And you globalist scum are all about "democracy" right?

At least the people of Donbas will benefit from the resources, as opposed to Blackrock, Monsanto Corp. and some corrupt oligarchs.

I don’t think Putin is the only gang wanting Ukraine’s resources.

Why is it no surprise that you side with thieves?

Liars and thieves are often found together.

Lol, sure there are no 'corrupt' Russian oligarchs. Russian oligarchs are all honest, only the Ukrainian ones are corrupt. Remind me again how much Putin is worth? 200 billion?

Another extremely costly Neocon disaster, you’d think people would have learned by now. And it’s not over, Russia will likely continue on and take Odessa next. The Neocon puppet Zelensky essentially ruined Ukraine beyond any chance of recovering, I doubt the EU even wants them now. They are destined to be a welfare begging state for the foreseeable future.

Now that Russia has captured most mineral and energy resources in the eastern areas, once Russia extends their new territory to encompass the entire sea coast, Ukraine will become a land-locked state.

I expect a new nation will be created as a buffer between Russia and NATO.

You. They are coming for you. They will expend little effort since they camp under your bed.
