This is correct, the area's natural resources and products are the economic goldmine coveted by Western Oligarchs and Russians.
To be clear, considerable amounts of these resources are Russian, NOT Ukrainian, or produced by Ethnic Russians, and Ukraine was involved in the theft of them in transit and commerce.
Zelensky had the option to quit stealing from the Russians, however that would put him in extreme peril from his Globalist Masters.
“...Ukraine was involved in the theft of them in transit and commerce.”
My goodness, a voice from the darkness. You must be the topic of discussion when you say that as I have been trying to preach that since this thing started right after my retirment really got started in 2013. But the public is so short minded that they think this rah rah attitude is just about the nasty Russians and those poor Ukrainians. It’s about commerce and security, not frame of mind.
Tack that on to the foreign influence of the countries like the US that have labs and black sites in the Ukraine that Russia will want out, and it blows the whole cover of the goody two shoes US and NATO. And that’s almost as bad to our government as to admitting Santa or the Easter Bunny doesn’t really exist. And this is why both sides are hiding behind the rah rah. We would be caught with our hands in the cookie jar and those that put the labs/sites in are no less guilty than the ones who know and are trying to protect them as we speak. Everybody gets dirt thrown on them. (And in the case of the liberals, re-elected)
