Is the stock market being used as a modern battleground?

I’m not as well-read on the situation as I’m sure many others here are. But that said, war is fought for money and power. So if Russia’s intent is to gain either from Ukraine, then I can’t see how they wouldn’t have shorted the general market, Bitcoin, etc. before beating the war drums. If they were even half as prepared as Putin normally is for anything then they have likely already taken quite a bit of their spoils. Am I overthinking it?
