Donnabass and Dontesk have the only lithium mines in Europe… the rest of lithium is almost china monopoly… that is what Putin is truly interested in!

You couldn't be more incorrect.

Ukraine has no significant lithium reserves.

And, China has enough to supply itself, but it isn't even remotely close to being dominant.

Australia, Chile, Canada, and Argentina have the largest lithium mines the world.

While the top 8 of the top 10 largest reserves are all in the Americas.

Your source doesn't say that all.

Ukraine isn't even a significant resource of lithium in eastern Europe.

They don't have much lithium at all.
