Why Does Putin Lust After Ukraine?
Chap asks me, “Why do you think Putin lusts after Ukraine?”
So, I do some research and here is what I come up with.
Ukrainian land mass and location
Ukraine is an enormous land mass and its addition to the Russian Putin Empire would be an gigantic coup in terms of land mass and pushing the Russian boundary westward thereby foiling the eastward march of NATO and exposing American weakness.
The country possesses huge mineral and energy reserves, agricultural, and industrial power.
