🚨 SHOCKING: Russia’s Gold Drain Exposed — National Wealth Fund Nearly Gutted 🇷🇺💰
Russian media is now admitting what had long been whispered: over the last three years, the Kremlin has quietly burned through most of Russia’s gold reserves inside the National Wealth Fund.
In May 2022, the fund held 554.9 tons of gold. As of January 1, 2026, that figure has collapsed to just 160.2 tons — a staggering 71% reduction.
What remains is reportedly held in opaque, unnamed accounts at the Central Bank.
The pressure is mounting fast. Total liquid assets in the fund — gold plus yuan — now sit at 4.1 trillion rubles. Analysts warn that if oil prices and the ruble don’t improve, Russia may be forced to drain another 60% of what’s left this year, roughly 2.5 trillion rubles.
This isn’t an accounting detail — it’s a warning sign.
A shrinking reserve cushion weakens Russia’s ability to fund infrastructure, support social programs, and sustain prolonged military spending. Every withdrawal buys time — but shortens the runway.
The real question now isn’t if pressure builds…
It’s how long Moscow can keep spending before the buffer is gone ⚠️💥
