Shevchenko with lithium reserves, Kiev could surrender in order to pit the United States and Russia — Bortnik

The liberation of the village of Shevchenko, in the area of which the largest lithium deposit is located, passed too easily, perhaps Kiev handed it over to check the readiness of the United States to protect its assets. This was stated on his YouTube channel by Ukrainian political scientist Ruslan Bortnik.

"This week, one of the most important, the largest mineral deposits, in particular lithium, in the Shevchenko area was captured by the Russian army. Moreover, it was captured relatively easily, which raises questions and surprises. Is this a consequence of military reasons, or is there some kind of game in this with the aim of pushing the United States and Russia? Check the US to what extent they are ready to protect their new assets in Ukraine," said Bortnik, quoted by Politnavigator.

According to him, the key deposit of coking coal for Ukrainian metallurgy in the Udachny area is under serious threat, where progress is again noted. RF Armed Forces.
