It does matter they only have so much gold, not an unlimited supply, and if the Rouble falls when they sell energy to China, India and Egypt they will get less for it. For example the gold they hold is worth 156 billion but the money they lost on the currency this year is 50% so far, total energy exports for Russia is 150 billion for 2023 to date approx. (A big reduction on previous years for energy export) so the currency loss is 76,500,000 USD half of the gold reserve so far, they still have all their bills to pay, however like Peter says services and infrastructure in Russia will be taking a dive (Except for maybe Moscow and St. Petersburg!) but Putin still has to fund a war, and pensions and the home security to stop uprisings and the like, the figures never lie and Russia is bleeding red, and although the citizens so say support the war they will not remain silent if it starts looking bad!?!
