Still think Russia’s invasion was about the threat of NATO expansin? Think again. “After nearly six months of fighting, Moscow’s sloppy war has yielded at least one big reward: expanded control over some of the most mineral-rich lands in Europe…
👉 Ukraine harbors some of the world’s largest reserves of titanium and iron ore, fields of untapped lithium and massive deposits of coal…. SecDev’s analysis indicates that at least $12.4 trillion worth of Ukraine’s energy deposits, metals and minerals are now under Russian control.
👉 In addition to 63 percent of the country’s coal deposits, Moscow has seized 11 percent of its oil deposits, 20 percent of its natural gas deposits, 42 percent of its metals and 33 percent of its deposits of rare earth and other critical minerals including lithium.
👉 According to SecDev and Ukrainian mining and steel industry executives, it has seized: 41 coal fields, 27 natural gas sites, 14 propane sites, nine oil fields, six iron ore deposits, two titanium ore sites, two zirconium ore sites, one strontium site, one lithium site, one uranium site, one gold deposit and a significant quarry of limestone previously used for Ukrainian steel production….
👉 Almost half its renewable energies plants — including 89 percent of its wind farms — are located in seized territory or conflict zones. More than half of its wind farms are shut down.”

NATO expansion and other idiotic justifications are used by mafia land’s many USEFUL IDIOTS, BRAINWASHED MORONS and LAPDOGS.
All the evil intentions of mafia land are well-known to those who can think independently (possessing sufficient intelligence). Another point to ponder: If NATO had expanded into Ukraine, there would now be one war … no killing, no murdering, no raping, no mass kidnappings, no destruction, no robbing, no terrorism at a nuclear power plant, no tortures, no extremely high energy prices, no grain embargoes … none of this. At this point, a big “thank you” to Germany and France for their vetoes, keeping Ukraine out of NATO and allowing Putin to start this genocidal war.
Let’s expand NATO as far as possible … or destroy this monster called the Russian Federation!
“SecDev’s analysis indicates that at least $12.4 trillion worth of Ukraine’s energy deposits, metals and minerals are now under Russian control.”
An absolutely enormous sum. I had no idea. Did anyone?
Enough of putler’s Holocaust. End it now. Go in hard: put US and UK warplanes in the air and let them do the job they should have done six months ago.
The notion that Putin’s war and hatred for Ukraine was about NATO expansion was debunked when he didn’t even mention expanding NATO’s border with Mordor by 1,300 km when Finland joined.
I knew Ukraine was #1 with rare earth minerals in Europe but even then I think most enticing for Hitler 2.0 is the destruction of Ukrainian history, religion and culture once and for all. The Moskali just can’t shake the fact that Kyiv is the center of history, religion and culture for the Eastern Slavs and 500 years of lies and intimidation have not moved the needle at all.
