This is simply a natural resource grab by Russia. If you look at their geographical maps if ukraines natural gas, and oil deposits, you'll see coincidentally its all the places russia is invading. There won't be a war, Russia is just Saber rattling until they can strip either those places, or those resources. If ukraine kept those resources, and built pipelines they would cripple russias gas, and oil exports essentially bankrupting the country.
So Ukraine has gas for export. Impressive. I thought they were leeching on that old Soviet pipeline for decades and this war is all about it since Nord Stream 2 was put on hold right before Russian "exercises" with invasion followed. I hope you meant natural gas, not petroleum.
