Ukraine Agricultural Production

What is there to gain for Putin by invading Ukraine?

The media mentions a bit about wheat production in Ukraine. Apparently, Ukraine supplies a massive amount of wheat to the world. A USDA map of Ukraine's wheat production by region shows that the western part of Ukraine produces a significant amount of wheat for the country.


Russia is attacking from three sides, Belarus, Crimea, and Russia. Russia seems poised to take at least a half of the country, leaving Ukraine in a crippling state. Even with all the sanctions, Russia will gain more influence over the global commodity market.
