the Russians are aiming at keeping all those fields east of keeyyyieev, east of dniiiipro, and Crimea. The bulk of the oil & gas discovered in 2012.
This war is about oil&gas. It’s not about bullshiite nazis, nor bullshiite 200-mile-closer NATO, nor bullshiite moralisms, nor bullshiite Russian speaking inhabitants, it’s about taking their oil.
LOL. Russia has more oil than it needs already.
