The terrorist state maintains its army, produces and purchases weapons from reserve funds, estimated at over $150 billion. It is noted that they were filled with currency and gold prior to the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
This is reported by Andriy Yusov, representative of the Defence Intelligence of Ukraine (DIU), in an interview with Ukrinform.
According to him, the kremlin also covers budget revenue losses from these funds. Ukrainian intelligence believes that russia's resources are not limitless, hence the process of systemic crisis in russia is irreversible and only a matter of time.
