    Yes (big agricultural resources, much more moderate climate than most of Russia, Russia wasted no time with taking possession of those resources in occupied regions and selling off the produced and sucking up the revenue) but it is also trying to colonise territory and get more Lebensraum for Russians, including ethnic cleansing of people refusing assimilation, filtration camps etc

        Plenty of reports of Russia shipping grain from occupied regions as soon as they got their hands on it. I didn’t know that was considered contested information. Nor that Ukraine being prime agricultural land needing evidence either.
