It seems the war in Ukraine is not only about territory, it is also about raw materials.
According to German parliamentarian Roderich Kiesewetter, Europe needs the lithium in the eastern border regions in Ukraine for the manufacture of electric cars. If Russia annexes these regions, Vladimir Putin will have a new economic trump card, he fears.

The following was originally published by Dutch independent media outlet Nieuw Rechts in an article titled ‘Is this the real reason for war in Ukraine? “Raw materials needed for electric cars”’ (translated from Dutch to English using an online tool).
The war in Ukraine has been going on for almost two years. Until now, the focus has always been on territory, but according to German Bundestag member Roderich Kiesewetter (CDU), important economic interests also play a role. He points to the huge lithium reserves in the Donbas, i.e. the Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
These mineral resources are desperately needed for the energy transition in Europe, Kiesewetter claims in a Q&A session with Tagesschau. Lithium is used to make motors for electric cars. The European Union wants all member states to switch to electric cars, and therefore bans the sale of new petrol and diesel cars from 2035.
Economic interests
According to Kiesewetter, the EU needs lithium from Ukraine. He points out that by far the largest lithium deposits in Europe are located in the eastern Donetsk-Luhansk regions, near the border with Russia. Therefore, the economic costs will be enormous if Ukraine loses these regions to Russia, he claims at ARD.
“If Europe wants to complete the energy transition, we need our own lithium reserve,” he tells Tagesschau. “That’s why Russia want to take these regions, to make us dependent on them for electric motors.”
EU accession despite persistent corruption
At the beginning of 2023, the then European Commissioner for Climate Change, Frans Timmermans, already claimed that Ukraine has what it takes to become “a leader in modern green energy.” According to him, Ukraine has a “huge potential for solar, wind, hydro and biomethane.”
Meanwhile, President Volodymyr Zelensky is allowed to start accession negotiations with the European Union. This is despite the widespread corruption in the country, about which there is great concern at the US government summit. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen claims that Zelensky is making great progress in the fight against corruption but in his own country he is often held responsible for this, according to sociological research.

This article just goes to show the accuracy of the person who originally coined the invaluable, well-known investigative phrase “Follow the money”…
It works every single time.
Hi Jerry, you are right. There’s another saying along similar lines “All wars are bankers wars.”
Even though people know this, every time there’s a war started and the propaganda machine goes to work, people who are thousands of miles away and cannot possibly know what is happening on the ground fall for it, pick a side and do battle among themselves.

Electric vehicles running on lithium batteries are an enormous scam. The production of the batteries pollutes more than the drilling and processing of petroleum combined with the emissions of internal combustion engines. When they can re-invent Nicolas Tesla’s electric vehicle, I’ll be interested.

Never going to go…This new market to make the wealthy wealthier. Technology more dastardly to the Earth than any before. Time to pursue, indict and try the Demon PAGANS worshiping Earth Mother Murderers of Babies in the Womb pushing this B.S. to begin with.
The prostitute Von Der Leyen needs to be gone.
I’m noy buying this. If Russia takes over the region, EU can still buy the Lithium from Them.
Ukraine is the elite’s Money Laundering, Child Trafficking, Bioweapon Development Hub. THAT’S why it’s so vital.

IMO the EUCom is fueling the war in Ukraine for other hidden reasons.
