🚨 SHOCKING UPDATE: Russia’s Gold Sell-Off! 🇷🇺💰
Russian media reveals a harsh truth: Over the past 3 years, Putin has sold nearly 71% of Russia’s gold in the National Wealth Fund.
May 2022: 554.9 tons of gold
Jan 1, 2026: just 160.2 tons left—kept in anonymous Central Bank accounts 😳
The fund’s total liquid assets (gold + yuan) now stand at 4.1 trillion rubles. Analysts warn: if oil prices & the ruble remain steady, another 60% of the remaining fund (~2.5 trillion rubles) could be withdrawn this year, leaving dangerously thin reserves. ⚠️
💥 Why it matters:
Russia’s financial safety net is shrinking fast
Potential impact on infrastructure, social programs & military operations
The big question: how long can Moscow sustain spending before reserves run dry?
Verified facts:
✅ Russia’s National Wealth Fund has seen a large decrease in gold holdings (e.g., from ~554.9 tons to ~160+ tons reported by some outlets). �
✅ The Russian Central Bank has begun direct sales of physical gold from reserves to help plug budget gaps, which marks a policy shift. �
✅ Analysts and reporting show that foreign currency and gold sales from the fund have increased sharply as energy revenues fell. �
