Re: Russia amassing troops on Ukrainian border
Well . . it was eventually going to be either the Russians or Americans.

Quote:
If one counts the gas reserves in the Asian part of Russia as being outside Europe, then Ukraine holds today the second biggest known European gas reserves. As of late 2019, the by then explored Ukrainian repositories contained 1.09 trillion cubic metres of natural gas. This is a deposit that is, within Europe, next only to Norway’s known resources of 1.53 trillion cubic metres.
Yet Ukraine’s enormous reserves of energy remain so far largely untapped. Ukraine has, until now, only a low rate of annual reserve usage, of about two per cent. Moreover, more active than hitherto exploration of yet undiscovered gas fields might further increase the overall volume of Ukraine’s deposits – perhaps even significantly so.
