  1. Unfortunately, the land that Russian has occupied is extremely value. It is te source of Ukraine's "blac soil" which makes Ukraine who effective in Agriculture. Nobody understands why that type of black soil except for an inexplicable occurrence in a small area in Australia. The Black Soil in Ukraine is sufficiently valuable that ships will load up and smuggle the soil to other areas. The are the area that Russia occupies is more than just a chunk of land even coastal territory. As far as reparations are concerned if would make more sense to force all Russian grain to Ukraine at a price at some percent below the market price, and then let Ukraine sell the grain on the open market. Sharing revenue from fossil fuels simply puts Ukraine in the position of wanting to increase product much to irritation of the Climate Crisis. Let me give you some insight into Putin's mind and Xi's as well. Putin, Xi and I were all born in in the last quarter of 1952. That makes us all 72 years old. You begin to confront the end of your like when you get beyond seventy, and you begin to wonder what your legacy will be. Notice that both Putin and Xi are Nationalists therefore the natural place to leave your mark is the territorial expansion. Beware of an old man in a hurry. Fun fact: Putin Palace's in Sochi has been razed to the ground and there is much speculation about why. My belief is that some sabotage did visible damage to the building. Putin simply destroyed the entire building rather than try to fix it which would take time and give other Russian resistance that idea that successful attack on the Putin's Palace was possible and effective. https://img.nzz.ch/2024/10/10/f9cc7e9c-e8ed-400c-b132-e0bd33d783e5.png
