Russia’s 2024 Minerals Development Strategy refers to the need to complete ‘the integration of the mineral-resource complexes of the Donetsk People’s Republic, Luhansk People’s Republic, Zaporizhzhia oblast and Kherson oblast into the Russian economy’. The strategy further mentions the occupied territories’ deposits of ‘coal, iron and manganese ores and rare metals, as well as various non-metallic minerals, including those used in construction’. Such economic integration is a key modus operandi in Russia’s annexation of Ukrainian territories, directly incorporating them into state-led industrial development strategies not only in critical-mineral supply chains but also in the energy and agriculturalsectors. This serves explicit import-substitution as well as export goals. The Russian-occupied port of Mariupol is already being used by Russia to export grain and chemical, metallurgical and other products from occupied territories, including coal and copper. สล็อตเว็บตรง
