Reason for the gap is not nuclear thread. Main reason is most Russian banks taken out of Swift and EU banning all transactions with Russian Central Bank.
As Zoltan Polsar from Credit Suisse mentioned, it is expected that 50% of Russian Central Bank reserves are in USD and in offshore accounts. If those accounts are frozen that means Russia would be default and that means someone on the other side would be default too. So central banks most likely will inject lots of liquidity on Monday.
