🚨 SHOCKING UPDATE: Putin’s Gold Sell-Off Is Draining Russia’s War Chest 🇷🇺💰
Russian media is finally admitting what many suspected for years. Over the last 3 years, Putin has sold nearly 71% of Russia’s gold reserves held in the National Wealth Fund.
In May 2022, the fund held 554.9 tons of gold.
As of January 1, 2026, that number has collapsed to just 160.2 tons, now parked in anonymous Central Bank accounts. 😳
Today, the National Wealth Fund’s total liquid assets — gold + yuan — sit at only 4.1 trillion rubles. Analysts are warning that if oil prices and the ruble stay flat, Russia may be forced to drain another 60% of what’s left this year — roughly 2.5 trillion rubles.
This isn’t just accounting data.
This is Russia’s financial safety net shrinking fast.
Less money for infrastructure.
Less room for social spending.
Less flexibility for military operations.
The real question now isn’t if the pressure builds — it’s how long Moscow can keep spending before the reserves hit dangerous levels ⚠️💥
