  3. This is why keeping Ukraine out of Russian control is important to the US: Ukraine natural resources rankings: First in Europe in proven recoverable reserves of uranium ores Second place in Europe and tenth place in the world in terms of titanium ore reserves Second place in the world in terms of explored reserves of manganese ores (2.3 billion tonnes, or 12% of the world’s reserves) Second-largest iron ore reserves in the world (30 billion tonnes) Second place in Europe in terms of mercury ore reserves Third place in Europe (13th place in the world) in shale gas reserves (22 trillion cubic metres) Eighth place in the world in coal reserves (33.9 billion tonnes) Ukraine agriculture ranking: First in Europe in terms of arable land area First place in the world in exports of sunflowers and sunflower oil Third place in the world by the area of black soil (25% of world’s volume) Third-largest producer of potatoes in the world Fourth place in the world in barley production and fourth place in barley exports Fourth-largest rye producer in the world Fifth-largest producer and fourth-largest exporter of corn in the world Fifth place in the world in honey production (75,000 tonnes) Fifth place in the world in wheat exports Ukraine industry ranking Second-largest in Europe and seventh-largest in the world in terms of installed capacity of nuclear power plants Third-largest gas production and the fourth-largest gas market in Europe (with the fourth-largest natural gas pipeline system in the world, supplying 142.5 billion cubic metres of gas throughput capacity in the EU) Third-largest iron exporter in the world Fourth place in Europe and 13th in the world in terms of rail network length (21,700km) Third place in the world in clay exports Fifth place in the world in titanium exports Ninth place in the world for exports of ‘ores, slag and ash’ 12th-largest steel producer in the world One of the world’s largest manufacturers of rocket launchers… So yeah I’d say its a pretty important investment to keep all of that out of enemy hands
