Interestingly your account joined 9 days ago, and this is your only post, this is one of the only times I've seen someone outright support Russia's invasion of Ukraine on this site. People in the Donbass voted -for- Zelenskyy before the invasion. So, your point is nonsense. Putin panicked because he wanted a puppet state with tons of agricultural and oil exports, and it turned against his planted head of state.
- hollerith 3y ago>Putin . . . wanted a puppet state with tons of agricultural and oil exports Ukraine is a net oil and gas importer and always has been.
- partiallypro 3y agoThe entire idea of taking over Ukraine is to steal its resources and they would become a net exporter with a fairly small upfront investment. If Russia controlled Ukraine, they would control ~30% of the World's fertilizer distribution, tons of grain, and would give them a stronger foothold on natural gas distribution and oil reserves, all while being on Poland's doorstep. Putin is a Eurasianist, he doesn't care about the people in Eastern Ukraine. https://hir.harvard.edu/ukraine-energy-reserves/ https://hir.harvard.edu/ukraine-energy-reserves/ https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/natural-resources-ukraine-war-1.6467039 https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/natural-resources-ukraine-w... https://www.cnbc.com/2022/04/06/a-fertilizer-shortage-worsened-by-war-in-ukraine-is-driving-up-global-food-prices-and-scarcity.html https://www.cnbc.com/2022/04/06/a-fertilizer-shortage-worsen... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_gas_transmission_system_of_Ukraine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_gas_transmission_syste...
