Putin's $50 Billion Problem—G7 Just Turned Russia's Frozen Assets Against Him

This investigation uncovers how $50 billion in G7 ERA loans force Russia to pay for its opponent’s military operations, why Russia’s National Wealth Fund is being depleted at record rates, and why China-Russia trade dropped for the first time in five years. All facts verified from official government sources.

$50B G7 ERA loans making Russia fund Ukraine’s defense
€246B ($246B) Russian central bank assets frozen indefinitely in EU
Ukraine’s borrowing costs cut nearly in half through ERA mechanism
Russia sells 57% of National Wealth Fund gold reserves

The Group of Seven nations executed one of the most sophisticated financial operations in modern history: $50 billion in loans to Ukraine, repaid by profits from Russia’s own frozen assets. The US Treasury transferred $20 billion in December 2024. The EU contributed €18.1 billion in January 2025. These funds reach Ukraine immediately while Russia’s frozen €246 billion in European banks generate proceeds for repayment.

Russia’s Central Bank began selling physical gold from reserves in November 2025 for the first time. The National Wealth Fund has sold 232.6 tonnes of gold since the war began—a 57% drop from 405.7 tonnes to 173.1 tonnes. Total liquid assets fell from $113.5B to $51.6B.

China-Russia trade posted its first decline in five years. Bilateral trade fell 6.9% from $244.8B in 2024 to $228.1B in 2025. Chinese vehicle exports to Russia plunged 46%, signaling that the explosive growth phase fueled by sanctions substitution has ended.
