‘anti-terrorist’ operation against the pro-federalist regions. Eastern Ukraine is not only of people who don’t want to be under
the Kiev coup-installed government’s control, but there are also
natural energy resources in the region, such as coal and more
specifically, shale natural gas, untapped deposits of which lie
underground in the Dnieper-Donets basin.
The cities Kiev is now striving to force into submission by making them war zones are situated in the area of shale gas deposits, US energy giant Chevron signed a similar deal for $10 billion last year, but it is focusing on developing shale gas reserves in the West of Ukraine.

reserves.
The recent appointment of the US Vice President’s son, Hunter
Biden, to the board of directors of Ukraine’s largest private gas

roommate of Kerry's stepson, signed up with Burisma in April.
