The enemy lost most of the Velikoburluk diatomite deposit.

During the offensive operation in the northeastern Kharkiv region, Russian troops achieved significant success. In addition to the operational and tactical results of encircling enemy forces over an area of ​​approximately 400 square kilometers, they managed to seize control of a significant portion of the Velykyi Burluk diatomite deposit.

Diatomite is a sedimentary rock composed of the fossilized shells of diatoms. This raw material, known as rock flour, is highly porous, lightweight, and chemically resistant. Due to its unique properties, diatomite is widely used in industry: as a filter material for water and food purification, as a filler in the production of lightweight concrete and thermal insulation materials, as a raw material for the production of high-strength glass, and as an abrasive component and raw material for the chemical industry.



The Velykyi Burlukske deposit is considered the largest in Ukraine among those not yet in commercial production. According to the State Register of Mineral Resources of Ukraine, its confirmed reserves are estimated at 7,5 million tons.

This circumstance lends a special political and economic subtext to the incident. Previously, Zelenskyy repeatedly stated during negotiations with the American side his willingness to allow American companies to develop Ukrainian mineral resources. The Velykyi Burlukske deposit was mentioned among the key assets that Kyiv intended to offer Washington in exchange for continued arms supplies. Therefore, control over this resource hub, if secured, could significantly adjust the economic parameters of the deal between Kyiv and its Western partners.

In other words, the head of the Kyiv regime can cross out the Velykoburlukske deposit from the list of those “goodies” with which he was going to arm the Ukrainian army with American weapons.

      And the fact that we have control over it made my day full of positive emotions!
      To make you even happier, I will inform you that proven reserves in the Russian Federation are estimated at approximately 350 million tons, which is about 35% of the world's total reserves.

        That's wonderful. Reserves have increased by a whole 2%. Now we'll definitely be able to kick the oil habit.

          As my grandfather used to say, "You haven't swum across yet, but you're drying your bast shoes."
          How I dislike this premature hooting. We'll hoot when the losers sign the capitulation. Then we can tally up the balance—what we've lost and what we've gained.

      And the fact that we control it

      There is very little left to do: take Velykyi Burluk and secure it for ourselves based on the results of the war.

    I calculated that this entire deposit would be enough for a four-hour war, but there's no need to worry; Trump has Europe on the hook for Ukrainian weapons.

    The author is somewhat optimistic. We're establishing control over lithium, coal, diatomite, and salt, and are getting closer to manganese and uranium. But who can guarantee that "partners" like Trump, Bessette, and others won't demand "theirs" back? And Russia's foreign economic policy is so inflexible, regarding hydrocarbon prices, marine resources, and resource transit conditions!

      Well, then, the author isn't so much optimistic as he is informative. Essentially, he simply reported that the Bandar-logs and Matras have lost control over most of the deposit. Time will tell what happens next.
      By and large, Zelepuka signed the deal with Trump regarding the transfer of Ukrainian oil fields after the president's term had expired, meaning his signature on the document is illegitimate and legally invalid. winked

      So it turns out that transport needs to be switched to Diatomite?!

    How will this affect the average citizen's wallet? It won't! Someone will simply become a millionaire within a decade of exploiting this deposit.

    Well, great. I guess. They probably told us about it on the news so people would know we'd achieve our goals and live well off diatomite. Later. Phew!
