Prior to the beginning of a full -scale Ukraine invasion of Russia, there were 2,300 tons of gold, and now 1700. It is sold.
In the Russian National Welfare Fund of $ 150 billion, which was a full -scale Ukraine invasion of 2022, $ 38 billion remained. This was announced by Ukraine Oleg Ivashchenko’s Foreign Intelligence Service in an interview with Ukrinform on Monday, May 26.
“Prior to the full -scale invasion of 2022, the Russian National Welfare Fund was worth about $ 150 billion. Now there are about $ 38 billion left. The money is melting,” he said.
According to Ivashchenko, another Russian reserve is unlimited – security that cannot be sold today. Also, the Russians are dropping the gold and Chinese reserves.
“Gold is 2300 tons – already 1700. It’s sold. It’s 164 billion Chinese Yuan. These reserves are gradually declining,” the head of the SVR.
In general, in the three months of 2025, the Russian resurgence of Russia reached $ 5 billion. For the Russian economy, these are relatively serious things, emphasizing the head of special services.
The SVR predicts that by the end of this year serious problems will appear in Russia in the economy, with resources of money and labor. A crisis in energy, housing and communal services, as well as the lack of personnel, can be tangible.
Keep in mind that Russian financiers have been hosting the Russian Federation’s budget deficiency for 2025 – up to 1.7% of GDP or more than 3.7 trillion rubles (about $ 45 billion). It was the result of the war against Ukraine, penalties and the collapse of oil prices.
