The aggressor country russia is increasingly sinking into economic dependence on China.
The Foreign Intelligence Service (FIS) of Ukraine has announced this, the Ukrainian News agency reports.
"Raw material projects in the Far East and Siberia are turning the region into a resource base for Beijing, and local communities are increasingly being left out of the promised benefits," the report says.
As an example, the Foreign Intelligence Service cited the Zashulanskoye coal deposit in the Zabaykalsky Krai of the russian federation.
Its joint development is being carried out by Oleg Deripaska's russian En+ Group and the Chinese Shenhua Group.
Coal production is designed for a hundred years, while the russian authorities have provided the company with tax benefits.
Starting in 2027, it is planned to transport 5 million tons of coal per year to China.
For this purpose, a new highway is being built in Transbaikalia.
It will pass in close proximity to private homes and a few kilometers from a source of mineral water.
In addition, Chinese specialists working on the project are actively cutting down cedar forests.
Activists are trying to achieve the relocation of the highway, but the process is being slowed down by bureaucracy.
Russia's dependence on China is also manifested in the field of tourism.
Thus, in russia, routes for Chinese citizens are being actively developed.
At the same time, in the Irkutsk Oblast, businessmen from the PRC are massively buying up land and building hotels on the shores of Lake Baikal, displacing local entrepreneurs and increasingly openly calling the lake "theirs".
"Thus, even the symbol of russia's natural wealth - Baikal - is gradually becoming part of Chinese economic interests, emphasizing how much Moscow has lost control over its own resource regions," the report says.
As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, according to the FIS, the war changed the structure of the russian economy: defense spending increased to almost 8% of GDP, and the military-industrial complex became the main driver of demand. Now RUSSIA will not be able to return to a peaceful economy without a sharp decline.
