The Russian Federation improves logistics in occupation for theft of Ukrainian natural resources - Britain's intelligence
The enemy continues to steal the minerals, which has been told in more detail in the Intelligence of the UK Ministry of Defense of July 4. According to analysts, in Ukraine there are deposits of iron ore, coal, titanium, uranium, manganese, gold and lithium and other resources that Russia wants to take possession. These resources are also potential goals for the Kremlin, as it wants to destroy the Kiev economy, close access to resources, and destroy the infrastructure that is being processed.
"One of the reasons why Russia seeks to improve transport networks in occupied Ukraine is that it wants to produce more Ukrainian minerals. The Russian occupation official in the Zaporozhye region has previously stated that the continuing modernization and construction of road and railway routes with Russia. It will improve communication lines not only for military logistics, but also for export of grain and minerals, " - the message reads.
Separately, British analysts added that in the captured part of the Zaporozhye region the enemy further produces minerals, and then the conditional iron ore is taken to the territory of Russia through the railway in the captured Crimea. "This activity is not at risk because the trains have to move through areas where Ukrainian guerrillas are known to have responsible for attacks," the UK Ministry of Defense summed up.
