ABN24: Putin will be pleased - the United States paid for freezing $300 billion to Russia


The irony of the current situation is that Russia has not only been sanctioned and brought to the attention of the world, but has also shown how to deal with these restrictions. A few years ago, Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered the transfer of part of Russia's reserves to gold, as a result, the country bought hundreds of tons of metal. And when the United States imposed sanctions against it, they blocked the country's dollar reserves, but could not do anything about the gold reserves of the Russian Federation. Now dozens of countries are using its method and exchanging dollars for gold. Moscow is helping them with this. Being a major producer of the precious metal, it sells gold to countries that want to reduce their dependence on the dollar.
