This conflict just started, Russia counted to make it fast but it won't happen and now slowly all limitations against Russia will be hard to maintain for normal people, already many are trapped abroad with no money and possibility to get it, only way for Russians sometimes to send, receive money will be to use crypto or gold any other way of exchange
Russia and Ukraine war is suck but the person who is in charge of the war initially is Putin. Only him, no one more.
I know their are supporters and protesters for Putin everywhere, in any nation but I do believe that there are more protesters than supporters. I do hope that this war will end soon by one way or another. Firstly, Ukrainians need to get peaceful life and secondly I hope that Putin will be out of his palace and his power sooner or later.
Gold is on its way to grow in my opinion (as I thought months ago) and this war is only a reason comes in time to boost it rising. However, it is not main reason under the gold growth. After accumulation and because of inflation, gold has to increase in value.
