Eastern Ukraine has a lot of natural gas, actually. Plus Ukraine has a lot of pipelines for getting that natural gas into the rest of Europe. Technically not oil, but one of the main objectives of the war was absolutely about controlling Europe's access to fossil fuels.

The shorter term goal is for Russian oligarchs to sell Europe gas via pipeline so their kids can get education in Europe.
