Russia took control of minerals — RealnoeVremya.com
After the start of special operations in Ukraine, Russia took control of minerals worth a total of $12.4 trillion. Writes about it Washington Post.
Currently, 63 Ukrainian minerals are under control, 11% of oil reserves, a fifth of gas reserves, 42% of metals and a third of rare earth deposits, including the need for lithium batteries. Ukraine also lost large deposits of uranium, gold and limestone.
The newspaper needs to extract all these reserves for the production of high-tech products from microelectronics to components for industry. This may make it difficult for the West to find alternatives to imports from Russia and China.
In March, the Austrian oil and gas company OMV refused to invest in Russian projects. In 2006-2010 she held a stake in a community of companies licensed to explore and produce hydrocarbons in the Saratov region and Komi. Later, the British-Dutch oil and gas concern Shell began the implementation of the Sakhalin-2 project.
