Putin’s Ukraine Assault: Latest Target Pокровск. Russia’s President Vladimir Putin is not after territorial gains in Ukraine’s Pокровск city alone. He’s driven by the vast mineral wealth lurking beneath the surface, according to military expert Dmitry Snigirev.
Snigirev, speaking on FREEДОМ on YouTube, pointed out that Pокровск is Russia’s latest prize because it’s a "goldmine" of valuable resources. Putin, he says, is prepared to throw everything into seizing this strategic location.
The military expert shed light on Russia’s heavy losses in the region, estimating that around 150,000 soldiers and approximately 1,800 units of heavy armor have been deployed, reflecting Russia’s determination to capture Pокровск.
But what’s truly driving Putin’s relentless offensive in this area? Snigirev is categorical: Russia’s thirst for resources, particularly lithium and coking coal found abundantly in Pокровsk and the surrounding district. He argues that despite massive causalities, Russia’s continued attempts to takeover Pокровsk reflect its desperation to control these valuable assets.
The city of Shchaslyve, Pокровsk district, hosts one of Europe’s largest lithium deposits. Moreover, the district contains significant reserves of coking coal, essential for steel production.
"The Russian Federation, under the guise of ‘Special Military Operation’, is waging a war for resources," Snigirev concluded.
