The Economics behind Russia's War in Ukraine

Russia did not invade Ukraine for territory or ideology. Russia invaded to protect a pipeline. Before 2022, forty percent of Europe's imported gas crossed a single valve, controlled by Kyiv — and Moscow had spent a decade trying to bypass it. This video decodes the economic architecture behind Russia's war in Ukraine — the eleven-billion-dollar Nord Stream 2 gamble, the 1.1 trillion euro fossil fuel revenue that funded the invasion, and the January 2025 valve closure that cost Russia six dollars for every one Ukraine sacrificed. Not the tanks. The ledger tells the real story.
