Of course a country without infrastructure or cities is pretty much as valuable as not having conquered it at all.

Though literally nothing about this war makes a lick of strategic sense for Russia.

see "Natural gas transmission system of Ukraine" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_gas_transmission_syste...

the discussion about Norstream2 and to a lesser extent NATO membership: Since Russia is an oligarchy its "sense" is defined by Putin's ego such as "reuniting Russia" again as it was and ruling it as its Tsar.
