3. Jokes on you Alibaba ads leaked it earlier

4. That gold transaction was worth $135m.

5. *”Russia paid in literal gold”* So this is why UA operatives are hunting down Wagner in Sudan!

   They are earning way less $$$ from exports, a lot of their international $$$ assets are frozen, Russia ability to pay with $ or € is limited. Foreign countries are not all that willing to be paid in rubles. But everybody will accept gold as payment.

   Wagner forces operate a gold processing plant in Sudan. *Under the junta government led by al-Burhan and Hemedti, Wagner smuggled an estimated 32.7 metric tons of gold worth nearly $1.9 billion out of the country between February 2022 and February 2023. That’s roughly equal to the 34.5 metric tons*

   So Ukraine sends their SF teams into Sudan to harass Russian operation, disrupting their ability to trade on international market… reducing their ability to buy weapons.
