‼️🇷🇺 🇺🇦"Russia has taken over half of Ukraine's resources. They have fully recouped the costs of the war," — Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine 2014-2019 Muzhenko ▪️Half of all Ukrainian natural resources are located in the territories controlled by Russia, it has already recouped the costs of the war and “will fully recoup its costs for this operation, and many times over, by and large,” so freezing is more profitable for it than for Ukraine: ➖We are talking "about the volumes of natural resources that remain there. Donetsk, Luhansk, parts of the Zaporizhia region and Kherson are about half of the entire resource base of minerals from the all-Ukrainian reserves. The total figure there is 15 trillion! There were different estimates: more than 20, 25 trillion. Of these, half are these occupied regions," said the general, who headed the Armed Forces of Ukraine during Poroshenko's time. ▪️Back in August 2022, the Washington Post wrote that Russia had taken control of at least $12.4 trillion worth of mineral resources in Ukraine. At that time, Kyiv had already lost 63% of its coal deposits, 11% of its oil fields, 20% of its natural gas deposits, 42% of its metal deposits, and 33% of its rare earth element deposits "and other critical minerals, including lithium."
