Russia had to fall back because they couldn't sustain supply lines further than 50km from their depots. They are reconfiguring their economy for total war, people are fleeing the draft while they can. A country with a historical problem of building factories to the extent that even now they rely on German machinery for stuff as simple as artillery shells, would have keep some supertech tucked away while it's taking their all to barely succeed to occupy a small strip of land right on their border?
These mythical advanced Russian weapons are so well hidden and only kept for alien invasions, only a fool falls for that Kremlin propaganda. Nobody else is buying their gear either, and deity knows they need the cash.
Then again, this line is literally in the troll factory guidelines, so that is almost certainly where it came from.
Why would they need the cash given that they have their own currency? Isn't that fixed exchange rate Gold standard thinking rather than the modern free floating currency approach?
Russia has no need of dollars or Euros because it can't buy anything with them. So it swaps them immediately for Rubles, so that oil companies can pay the wages of their staff, which then increases the exchange rate of Rubles against dollars and Euros.
And that's what is happening. Russians need Rubles because that's what they pay taxes in.
Russia is perfectly capable of driving its own output using its own internal monetary system.
The propaganda isn't coming solely from where you think it is coming from.

That's what Reagan would say, in fact, that's exactly what he said to justify his satellites, looks like they found some aliens since the US kept advancing their troops, i mean their vassals
