🚨 SHOCKING UPDATE: PUTIN’S GOLD SELL-OFF IS DRAINING RUSSIA’S WAR CHEST 🇷🇺💰
Russian media is now confirming what many suspected for years — Russia’s financial buffer is shrinking fast.
Over the past 3 years, Vladimir Putin has reportedly sold nearly 71% of Russia’s gold reserves held in the National Wealth Fund.
📉 The numbers are staggering
• May 2022: 554.9 tons of gold
• Jan 1, 2026: just 160.2 tons remain
• Most of it is now parked in anonymous Central Bank accounts
That’s a massive drawdown 😳
💸 What’s left in the war chest?
Today, the National Wealth Fund’s liquid assets (gold + yuan) total only:
➡️ 4.1 trillion rubles
Analysts warn that if:
• Oil prices stagnate
• The ruble stays weak
Russia may be forced to drain another 60% of remaining reserves this year — roughly 2.5 trillion rubles.
⚠️ Why this matters
This isn’t just accounting noise.
This is Russia’s financial safety net eroding.
That means:
• Less funding for infrastructure
• Reduced social spending capacity
• Limited flexibility for military operations
🧠 The real question
It’s no longer if pressure builds —
It’s how long Moscow can keep spending before reserves hit critical levels.
Macro stress is rising — and markets are watching closely.
