Date: April 28th, 2024 8:21 PM Author: 180 Narrow-minded Roast Beef According to Wiki, the GDP of the Donbas in 2013 (before fighting started) was 20 billion Euros. I know there was corruption and all, but there's corruption in Arab countries as well and they are still rich AF with their resources.

It's got some shale oil reserves, but apparently nothing to write home about. And its coal reserves are depleted and coal is in little demand these days anyway.
People act like Russia is getting Kuwait or something by capturing it, but they are going to spend way more on rebuilding it than any money they will see out if it for decades. |

With the dam blown and no irrigation, I've read that area is one bad drought from being a dust bowl. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5522476&forum_id=2#47616700) |

“In 2022, the Canadian think tank SecDev estimated the total value of deposits in occupied Ukraine at over $12 trillion. In addition to iron ore, key resources such as coal, titanium and manganese are found in Ukraine. Gold, natural gas, oil, kaolinite, salt, gypsum, zirconium and uranium are also present.” |

Damn, sounds like this war might end up serving Russia very well economically, after all! |

Date: April 29th, 2024 12:05 PM Author: 180 Narrow-minded Roast Beef That's the kind of crap I'm talking about. You think the Soviet Union would have been ignorant of this huge mineral wealth and not exploited it if it were economically feasible to do so?

Date: April 29th, 2024 12:20 PM Author: bronze overrated incel Donbas was first economically exploited under the tsars, when a British industrialist got a concession. that’s when they started to bring in russian underclass as cheap labor
and the Soviets did the same with newer technology, bringing in even more russians
and that’s why russiacucks are retarded when they say Donbas is russian just because they speak russian in the big cities there. it was colonized like any other place |

Date: April 29th, 2024 2:00 PM Author: Amber fragrant corn cake Total value approach is pointless. These resources are scattered every around the world but only feasibly exploited in certain places. USSR/Russian extraction of each of these resources was very well developed. Doubtful there's that much going on in the donbass that would rival anything seen in Russia.
