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.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donbas

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.

Ukraine is the breadbasket of Europe. It’s soil is rich.

It wasn't before the Dnieper dam that was blown up was built. With the dam blown and no irrigation, I've read that area is one bad drought from being a dust bowl.

the area hasn’t been properly developed, and those 2013 numbers are after decades of post Soviet shit. even now they have a lot of coal “mines” where it’s just a group of guys with shovels and 2x4s pulling loads of coal out of the ground

it’s not just the agricultural stuff

“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.”

To be fair,

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

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?

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

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.

Donbas is one big industrial / extraction zone. it’s name is even related to this fact

even for russia it has massive potential
