Some Russian officials are trying to move their money to other countries. They are also trying to open new bank accounts outside of Russia.
This information comes from a new report by Bloomberg. The report says these officials are worried about rumors that the government might soon announce another wave of 'mobilization.'
Mobilization is when the government forces regular citizens to join the military to fight in a war. Many people in Russia are afraid this will happen again.
Because of this fear, some government workers want to make sure their savings are safe and easy to reach if they decide to leave the country. By moving their money abroad, they are trying to protect their wealth from any new rules or instability back home.
This trend shows that even people high up in the government are feeling nervous about what might happen next in Russia.
