Just in the occupied areas, there's about $12 trillion worth of resources, including coal, iron ore, etc. https://www.dw.com/en/russia-ukraine-war-natural-resources-grain/a-66639269
And Ukraine has more top quality topsoil than any other country in the world. There's a reason why they're (still) one of the world's top food exporterers.
As for the US, they haven't taken resources for free.
The valuation of coal and gas in Ukraine changes every time depending on who is conducting the assessment. In any case, coal is not something that can be expensive in the modern green agenda, and the development of other resources in Ukraine did not occur because modern Ukraine did nothing but steal Russian gas from pipelines and sell children for prostitution and organ transplantation to Europe.
Regarding this amusing statement, considering that even under the impoverished conditions of Ukraine, the Biden family thrived there. Hunter Biden especially enjoyed himself with Ukrainian escorts.
there probably is more than one reason to do what russia is doing. i do tend to believe their claim to make ukraine abandon their nato aspirations, and there probably are more reasons, like, for example, the persistant corruption scheme with russian gas that has made ukrainian oligatchs millions. funny how the start of the war coincided with completion deadline for northstream pipelines
There are many reasons, ranging from purely historical ones, such as Kiev being literally the cradle of the Russian world, to economic and military factors.
