Russia is a Regional Power in Europe that has a bit of a monopoly on energy exports to the rest of Europe. After the color revolution and until this last election, Ukraine was effectively nothing more than a vassal state to a series of Security State executives and Fabian Socialist investors that were taking profits off of Bursima (the Energy Commodifier (read: oil & gas investment bank)) to put into their personal piggy banks. Ukraine, however, is a state Russia requires good trade relations with, along with a secure southern border and access to the Mediterranean sea.
Putin, specifically, has noted that international finance has been his biggest threat since he took power from Yeltsin (who was put in power by them). The Fabians were using Kleptocracy from the Oligarchs to maintain control over Russia, so he pushed them out. They tried to pull a similar stunt with Ukraine, but they are loosing ground to native populist resistance, and war fatigue. In response to avoiding the attacks of international fiance, Russia has basically abandoned the US petro-dollar and Debt-based monetary system that the IMF uses. They've ditched most of their US bonds and treasury holdings, and they have one of the largest gold bullion supplies on Earth: 2,000 tons of Gold.
Gold is a powerful strategic financial asset. Countries that are not subservient to a debt based system are very hard to control. The Fabians use loans from the IMF to control the behavior of nations (see: Greece). The Chinese have a similar "Bridge and Road" program which has host countries take out enormous loans to Chinese infrastructure building that are impossible to pay off. Gold, strategically, means you don't have to ally yourself to a debt-system, and your currency can still be worth something, even if no creditors are speaking on your behalf.
If a debt system becomes too debased from inflation, it makes the currency worthless, and everyone who is trapped with the currency collapses with it. To shore up a heavily debased currency from collapse, the inflation has to be held down with asset wealth. This is why Russia has so much god damned gold.... and why the Fabians want it. The current debt system for the west is wildly debased. It is no longer sustainable and a monetary reset is absolutely necessary (which is why there is a push to accept sovereign digital currency, and why it's tied in with digital track/tracing apps with Covid). Gold supplies can shore up the central banks whom are inflating their currency with asset wealth... but Russia isn't sharing (because they need it).
If you think that Gold isn't important to the Fabians, consider that although the West suddenly developed friendly relations with Libya after Libya planned to allow more foreign investment and loans into the country; they invaded Libya after they found out that Qaddafi had been stockpiling 40 tons of gold in a bid to release a new currency based off of a Gold Standard. Then, the 40 tons went missing for several years. Officially, Libya now has 5 less tons of gold than what they started with for some reason, though it's hard to say that anyone has seen these gold reserves.
Dux is wrong, and Jiggsaw is close.
