Russia reveals exact amount of reserves frozen by West

The latest sanctions imposed on Russia over its military offensive in Ukraine have frozen about half of the country’s gold and foreign exchange reserves, according to Finance Minister Anton Siluanov.

“We have a total amount of reserves of about $640 billion, about $300 billion of reserves are now in a state in which we cannot use them,” he said in an interview with state TV channel Rossiya 1 on Sunday.

Ukraine would fall in 2 days.
2 days= 2 weeks=
A great army doesn’t ask 3 countries (Belarus, China and Syria) for military help after 2 weeks of fighting.
The Russian army is trash.
Russia is telling nations not to help Ukraine but useless Russia is asking for help.

Putin is the real comedian not Zelensky

ChangetheChange:

Yep
Urban Guerilla warfare ( ambush and hide) it is a very expensive war for the invading country, this is what Putin is already scared of , which is why he is asking Ukrainians to surrender every day, rather than the invasion prolonging which now dry up the Russians already depleted cash reserve, and wear out their military of supply and logistics inside Ukraine
As long as US and NATo keep pumping in those weapons, Russia is in for a long expensive bitter war in Ukraine.
The US (CIA) are specialists in training militia', rebels and even terrorists in urban Guerilla warfare.

natnoble:
By the time the effects of these sanctions reached their peaks, Russia would have been sent back 50 years economically with little or no chance of recovery until the next 50 years.

Is Russia really a democratic country?... Sometimes we need to double-check it again to be sure.... Because it sounds like a country ruled by the military...

Is the citizens actually in support of what is going on... All the travel ban imposed on them by most countries, freezing of international accounts/closing of corporation... social media etc... Do they really like that?....

If they don't like it and the country is truly a democratic country, what is stopping them from speaking up to defend their country from economic/ financial collapse.. Just wondering..

Russia is a shameless country. You are fighting your enemy who is helping you to keep money.

You will be surprised to know that majority of them are in support of their president's actions. They believe that the west is transgressing.

U might be correct... I believe majority Were in support.. and that actually silenced the minority...

I believe the Russian Economists were muted as well... If not, they would have explained to the citizens what is coming...

They will start feeling the impacts of these sanctions in a year or two years to come... it's not dawned on them yet..

nahr:


This fight is a two way thing. The west also have businesses in Russia, it's going to be tit for tat.

PoliteActivist:


They are now shamelessly asking China for help.
Help to fight the same Ukraine they were supposed to overrun in two days!

nahr:
Russia seems to be in a financial crisis but they are not trying to cover it up. I hope the poor citizens don't get to suffer for this.
