Is Russia's invasion of the Ukraine about plundering abundant and critical natural resources other than oil and gas?

It appears the breadbasket country of the world is a lot more attractive for invaders like Putin the Terrible!
"The country boasts approximately 20,000 mineral deposits, covering 116 types of minerals. Key resources include titanium, lithium, beryllium, manganese, gallium, uranium, zirconium, graphite, apatite, fluorite, and nickel. Notably, Ukraine holds the largest titanium reserves in Europe, accounting for 7 percent of the world’s reserves, as well as almost 500,000 tons of lithium, a valuable strategic element that can contribute in meeting the global demand for batteries. ..."

Israel Defense Forces to expand use of fiber-optic guided drones
The fiber optic increases protection of the drone against electronic warfare that will disrupt communications between the drone and its operator, including jamming and spoofing. ...
Unlike the broad expanses of Ukraine and Russia, Israel's narrow border with Lebanon and the mountainous topography dictate a high density of communications activity by the drones, which sometimes interfere with each other. ..."

- Question Does the use of a large language model (LLM) improve diagnostic reasoning performance among physicians in family medicine, internal medicine, or emergency medicine compared with conventional resources?

- Meaning In this study, the use of an LLM did not necessarily enhance diagnostic reasoning of physicians beyond conventional resources; further development is needed to effectively integrate LLMs into clinical practice.

Google search result inconsistencies due to AI
Here is a beautiful example of such an inconsistency!
My first Google search result
- When I first queried about how to use Python to export a PDF file as a text file, Google AI generated a code example using import PyPDF2
- Since I knew there was also a library called pypdf, I was curious what the difference was.
Well Google AI then declared that PyPDF2 was actually deprecated and merged into pypdf.

How the drone killed the tank
If there is one lesson learnt so far from the Russo-Ukrainian War, then it is that even the latest and greatest Russian tanks are no match for cheap drones.
Likewise, conventional marine vessels may have also become a thing of the past!
Surprisingly, the theocracy of Iran recognized the potential of drones as weapons and has become a major supplier.
Every so often a new weapon on the battlefield obsoletes previous weapons!
Like the bow and arrow and crossbow finished the knight in shining armor!
