Russia has stolen a priceless lithium deposit from under Britain's nose
As reported earlier, the largest lithium deposit in Ukraine has come under Russian control. But new details have come to light, reports Rogov, Chairman of the RF Public Chamber's Commission on Sovereignty:
"About a year ago, the Kiev regime, for a pittance, completely transferred the rights to develop the Shevchenkivske lithium deposit to the British. It was supposed to be developed by the Australian company European Lithium, owned by the British businessman Anthony Sage. In fact, the British, with the assistance of Zelensky, stole the priceless deposit. But now their plans have been put to rest; they are not destined to come true."
Now the most valuable resource needed for battery production will be mined by Russia."

I suspect the Kiev end of this corruption has their proceeds safely stashed in overseas banks by now so only the British interests are on the outs now.
At least Hillary got her money for Uranium One. That’s what matters to the Clintons.
One of the main reasons Putin invaded Ukraine was to steal its minerals, which are estimated to be worth in excess of $36 trillion (which is coincidentally the same as the US national debt).
That’s really what the whole thing is about. The Donbas is an absolute treasure house with both rich soil as well as oil, gas and mineral deposits under that. Blackrock and Vanguard and their political pawns want to get their grubby paws on all of it.
No doubt their plan is to import a bunch of penniless Africans to serve as serfs once the Ukrainians have all been used up in the war or fled.
Why the hell do you think we UK and Blackrock are there? Ukrainian democracy? lol 😏😏

I prefer to use the term ‘Liberated’.
“One of the main reasons Putin invaded Ukraine was to steal its minerals”
Link please. I believe Putin gave 4 reasons for invading, and that wasn’t one of them.
Now, if you’re talking about the US stealing Syrian oil, then I would agree with you, as that was stated.
No wonder the British were so willing to start WW III.
No, that is not a main reason. The primary unarguable reason is to restore the buffer protecting Mother Russia from European invasion.
Sweden, France and Germany all invaded Russia nd took a terrible toll.
Ukraine as a buffer is the historical defense against Europe
"...a 2001 moratorium on the sale of land to foreigners had always represented an obstacle to unrestrained privatisation. As post-Maidan governments turned again to the IMF for financing, aid was conditioned on a series of land reforms that would finally allow foreign corporations to acquire vast tracts of the country’s farmland. In 2020, Zelenskyy gave in to the IMF’s demands and finally repealed the moratorium. 'Agribusiness interests and oligarchs will be the primary beneficiaries of such reform,' said Olena Borodina of the Ukrainian Rural Development Network. 'This will only further marginalise smallholder farmers and risks severing them from their most valuable resource.' But the World Bank could barely contain its excitement, gushing: 'This is, without exaggeration, a historic event.' Even though the new law isn’t set to come into force until next year, US and Western European agrobusinesses have already bought up millions of hectares of Ukraine’s farmland — with 10 private companies reportedly controlling most of it."In "The whole Ukraine goes for sale - massive profit opportunities being created by the war' -- July 17, 2023

There is no danger of WW III except in the minds of isolationists
“I believe Putin gave 4 reasons for invading, and that wasn’t one of them.”
“I believe Putin ... “
ROTFLMAO!
A small glimpse into why Britain has been such war hawks. They are the ones who have been pushing Biden to permit use of long range missiles attacks into Russia…. On his way out Biden finally gave the go ahead and of course Ukraine is using British supplied missiles.
You said you were going to leave the country but I see you are still flying a Texas flag?
A pittance?
A measly crumb?
A drop in the bucket?
Chicken feed?
Peanuts?
Pocket change?
A sliver of scraps?
A mere drizzle?
A laughable morsel?
A whisper of wealth
A sad spoonful?
A smidgeon of substance?
A pauper’s prize?
A teaspoon of treasure?
Barely a fig?
A beggar’s blessing?
A dusting of dough?
A blink of bounty?
A sneeze of salary?
A threadbare token?
A hiccup of fortune?
That’s the currency the Brits and others have been using to scarf up Ukrainian wealth. Ain’t war fun!
“You said you were going to leave the country but I see you are still flying a Texas flag?”
I was bailed out by two Democrats in 2021, Sinema and Manchin. Now I have Trump to keep me here for at least another 4 years.
““I believe Putin ... ROTFLMAO!”
How’s your “Ghost of Kiev” doing these days?
There are lithium deposits in Argentina and Chile of such an extent to make the Ukraine deposit laughable.
“There are lithium deposits in Argentina and Chile of such an extent to make the Ukraine deposit laughable.”
I doubt the Russians need much lithium as they’re not ‘woke’. But if they do plan to produce batteries and electric cars for export to the US and our captured countries, then the lithium could be useful.
