Russia's rich natural resources—valued at an estimated $75 trillion—are the reason for the "globalists' attacks" against the country, Kirill Dmitriev, CEO of the Russian Direct Investment Fund and special representative of the Russian president, has stated.
"Russia is Number 1 in the world with an estimated $75 trillion natural resource value. That’s also why it is constantly attacked by globalists and the deep state. Russia has partnered and will build new partnerships with the leading countries for joint resource development," Dmitriev said on X.
According to 2021 estimates from the international agency Statista—which were cited by the RDIF CEO—the top five countries for natural resource reserves after Russia are the United States ($45 trillion), Saudi Arabia ($34 trillion), Canada ($33 trillion), and Iran ($27 trillion).
