Among them, according to NADRA.INFO, are companies supplying metallic titanium, hard coal, hydrocarbons, limestone, clay, etc. In addition, the Russian invaders stole 63% of the country’s coal deposits, 11% of its oil deposits, 20% of its natural gas deposits, 42% of its metals, and 33% of its rare earth and other critical mineral deposits, including lithium, totaling more than $12 trillion. In addition, it is noted that several Ukrainian fields were controlled by the Russians directly or through nominal owners (especially in offshore jurisdictions) long before the Russian attack in February 2022. At the beginning of 2023, some mining enterprises have already removed Russian beneficiaries from their owner lists.
