Top 30 of most things doesn’t mean much since values tend to drop exponentially once you’re past the top ten or fifteen. Energy is usually used to refer to things like oil and gas, both items that Ukraine doesn’t have a lot of. Both Russia and Norway have more oil/gas than Ukraine.

Compare a map of Ukraine’s gas deposits [1] with one of Russian-occupied territory [2].

Ukraine has enough to rival, if not dethrone, Moscow [3]. It is accurate to say the Kremlin is burying Russians in large part to protect its energy profits.
