🚨 MAJOR DISCLOSURE OUT OF RUSSIA 🚨🇷🇺💰
Russia’s financial buffer is shrinking faster than expected.
State-linked media is now acknowledging that around 71% of the National Wealth Fund’s gold has been depleted in just three years.
📉 May 2022: 554.9 tons
📉 Jan 2026: only 160.2 tons remain — much of it parked in less-transparent Central Bank holdings 😳
💥 Total liquid reserves (gold + yuan): ~4.1T rubles
⚠️ Analysts caution that up to 60% more could be exhausted this year if oil prices and the ruble fail to recover — roughly 2.5T rubles erased.
This goes beyond raw numbers.
It signals a weakening financial backstop:
• Reduced funding for infrastructure
• Tighter space for social programs
• Less strategic flexibility for long-term stability — and conflict
The key issue is no longer whether strain intensifies…
but how long Moscow can continue spending before reserves reach critical levels ⚠️💥
Global markets are paying close attention 👀
