Yes (big agricultural resources, much more moderate climate than most of Russia, Russia wasted no time with taking possession of those resources in occupied regions and selling off the produced and sucking up the revenue) but it is also trying to colonise territory and get more Lebensraum for Russians, including ethnic cleansing of people refusing assimilation, filtration camps etc
Plenty of reports of Russia shipping grain from occupied regions as soon as they got their hands on it. I didn’t know that was considered contested information. Nor that Ukraine being prime agricultural land needing evidence either.
I doubt, any source would you convince you of Russia waging an Imperialist war, given your previous posts.
Which leads me back to my initial point. I oppose every imperialism and don’t play “gimme evidence, no that doesn’t count” towards one side.
I mean I watched the BBC lie and obfuscate Israel’s actions in Gaza for the past 3 years, I absolutely can’t trust them in regards to a foreign country’s actions, especially when they have every reason to make Russia look as bad as possible. Knowing bias for your news sources is critical in getting accurate information.
Literally yes, so far the Kremlin has spent 20 times more on the occupied territories of Ukraine building roads, ports and other infrastructure than it spent on its own oblasts. ( Replacing or bypassing Infrastructure that has been destroyed or is still held in Ukrainian hands ) around captured stocks of natural resources . Literal resource extraction from occupied territory.
The content of that picture does not support your claim in any way. Also, it’s from a straight up western cyber security and intelligence think tank. This is not a source, it’s narrative shaping.
Provide a serious source, this shit ain’t it. Right now, as far as I’m concerned, you’re spreading desinformation.
Is Russia trying to extract the resources of Ukraine in order to enrich its elite?

Sources please?

Eh pretty weak, plus the source is unable to be unbiased about Russia. I’d wait for a UN report.

That’s not quite the same but I can appreciate the sentiment.
