Russia is a huge country has plenty of minerals and a low population. Trading people for more minerals isn't exactly in Russia's interest.
One problem with this theory is that Russia was perfectly fine with Ukraine trading with Europe until the coup in 2014 happened.
They weren't under Russian control. What actually happened was that the west was not ok with Ukraine being independent and instigated a coup there. Incredible how trolls now twist this to be backwards.
