Russia is a big country in gold production they produced about 325 tons of gold annually. If Russia can't sell that produced gold, it will have a big impact on their economy. And considering that, the country decided that they will sell gold at a relatively low price.
On the contrary, the United Nations is imposing various restrictions on other countries of the world. But the three countries are keen to buy Russian gold. UAE, China and Turkey are buying Russian gold according to their capacity. Currently Russia's big gold buyer is United Arab Emirates. UAE buy 99.3 percent of Russia's gold exports. Almost everyone knows that UAE focus on gold reserves and their stock is increasing day by day.

At a time when most countries are devastated by the war, some countries take advantage of the opportunity to acquire huge wealth. But if the poor countries go to buy something, they are harassed and banned in various restrictions. Don't you think this policy is cruel to poor countries?
In fairness to these other countries, their political policies may not line up directly with those of European and American allies. While they should definitely be encouraged to drop this indirect economic support of Russia, they are still paying much lower prices than Russia would have gotten originally from other countries - so they still lose. I'd be more annoyed if they turned out to be conduits for restricted goods to enter Russia, like microchips or multi-use technology that could be used against Ukraine in this war. Realistically Russia is still the biggest country in the world, who have access to many natural resources that are needed in various manufacturing purposes, so they will always end up finding a buyer for these rare commodities so just need to be haggled down to the floor.
