This War Is About Ukraine's Mineral Resources.
Putin deceived everyone with his pseudo-historical narratives, but the true reason behind this war is Ukraine’s vast mineral wealth.
According to a 2023 Forbes estimate, the total value of Ukraine's mineral resources reaches up to $15 trillion. However, over 70% of this wealth is concentrated in just three regions—Donetsk, Dnipropetrovsk, and Luhansk. Open data confirms that Ukraine possesses significant deposits of non-ferrous and rare earth metals, including lithium, beryllium, zirconium, tantalum, niobium, yttrium, and hafnium. Additionally, the country holds reserves of titanium, uranium ore, manganese, iron, gold, lead, zinc, cobalt, nickel, copper, and more.
President Donald Trump proposed exchanging Ukraine's rare earth metals for American military aid. These metals are crucial for modern technology, and their extraction in Ukraine could greatly benefit Western countries.
Moreover, near Crimea, there are massive deposits of gas and oil, capable of supplying all of Europe.
Media sources speculate that since China currently dominates the rare earth metals market, Ukraine’s resource extraction could significantly reshape the geopolitical landscape.
