“The unconfirmed source quoted by Metal.com, says that the operation to airlift Ukraine’s gold had been ordered by the acting Prime Minister Arseny Yatsenyuk with a view to safe-keeping Ukraine’s gold reserves at the NY Fed, against a possible Russian invasion which could lead to the confiscation of Ukraine’s gold reserves. The National Bank of Ukraine estimated Ukraine’s gold reserves in February to be worth $1.8 billion. According to William Kaye: ‘That would amount to a very nice down payment to the $5 billion that Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland boasted that the U.S. has already spent in their efforts to destabilize Ukraine, and put in place their own unelected government.'”
