One of the proposals to use Russian frozen assets in the West was to use the profits this money generated to rebuild Ukraine. As a way out of the legislative stall when the fundamental right of private property is not violated.

In Russia, business dissatisfaction with actions of Russian Armed Forces is increasing, - National Resistance Center

In Russia, local businesses are dissatisfied with the actions of the Russian armed forces, which expose the border to unjustified danger.
This is reported by the National Resistance Center, Censor.NET reports.
“The situation around the Tyotkinsky Sugar Plant located in the Kursk region is illustrative, as the Moscow Arbitration Court refused to recover from the Russian Defense Ministry the losses incurred by the company in the first three months since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
At the time, the company’s facilities and surrounding areas were used by the Russian Armed Forces and were repeatedly damaged by shelling, resulting in losses of 75 million rubles. However, the Kremlin authorities decided not to compensate the owners for the destruction of their property,” the statement said.

Happy New Year, Ukrainians!
To the last Ukrainian ! Woo-hoo ! ~ L Graham
Here is a perspective you might not be accustomed to seeing.
This thread is brought to you by the Ministry of Propaganda of Ukraine.

> Update from Ukraine | Ukraine Targeted VIP Ruzzain officers in Donetsk | Great start of 2024<
Mommy, what’s a Ruzzain?
Your employer, Denys, mentions them in the title and in his first article.
Zeepers changed the spelling of the word “Russian” to “Ruzzian” and now “Ruzzain”?
New year, new spelling. How cute.
The first day of the New Year, a holiday, and mommy’s got the Zelensky/Biden Money Laundering Operation’s engine humming in overdrive.
Out of the first 20 posts, 16 are hers...with plenty more to come.
Tell me she’s not compensated for posting this crap.
First, the graphic posted as a comment to you is amusing. Mentioning "mriyaaid.org," a visit to the URL yields no splash page, and therefore a "This site can't be reached" message.
The organization may be examined:

As to the interview on YouTube from Kyiv Post, it is an interview between two Americans and of course in English.
Chuck Pfarrer -- source: https://archive.kyivpost.com/author/chuck-pfarrer -- is noted as an author for the 'news," but the articles written for Kyiv Post date from 25 September 2022 and earlier. None since. They note of him that he "has written an op-ed for the New York Times and the Knight-Ridder Syndicate and has appeared as a writer and counterterrorism expert on CNN, ABC, MSNBC, Fox, CSPAN, NPR, Voice of America, Al Jazeera, Al Hurra, IPR, and America tonight."
Chuck Pfarrer is an American author and writer, as IMDB will show. He hasn't served as a Navy Seal since 1989. Thirty-three years ago. But who is the interviewer? Jason Jay Smart. And who is he?
One finds that Smart operates his own web site: https://jasonjaysmart.com/ -- McLean, Virginia -- United States of America.
More specifically, Smart's publicly-available snail mail address is 11127 Bowen Avenue, Great Falls, Virginia 22066, US. (Operating since 2009) So his "office" home is very near to Washington. D.C. As in political consultant to -- surprise -- Democrats.
Kyiv Post says of Smart: Jason Jay Smart, Ph.D., is a political adviser who has lived and worked in Ukraine, Moldova, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Latin America." (Source: https://www.kyivpost.com/authors/5) Smart says of himself that he offers "professional political consulting services. Our team helps candidates and organizations achieve their political goals."
So the interview in English between two Americans, likely recorded in the US, has its aim and target audience -- English-speakers.....
In the information war, existing on both sides of this conflict, this is but a salvo among many. A conversation between two very comfortable Americans, far from the front. Slava information salvos!
Interesting what any "Toto" looking behind the "wizard" curtain finds.
Update on the conflict in Ukraine for January 1, 2024…
- Russia’s taking of the heavily fortified town of Maryinka demonstrates the futility of Kiev’s “dig-in” strategy;
- Ukrainian General Valery Zaluzhny has admitted that the likewise fortified city of Avdeevka will inevitably be taken by Russian forces;
- After months of stockpiling missiles, Russia has carried the first of what will likely be many large-scale strikes across Ukraine;
- Ukraine’s retaliation targeting Belgorod civilian targets is admittedly done solely for domestic “morale” and will only likely harden Russian resolve across all levels of Russian society;
- Ukraine’s strike on Crimea, destroying a landing ship, while a PR “victory,” demonstrates just how difficult it will be to “isolate” the peninsula considering the large number of ports and airfields Russia can use to supply both the civilian population and its military installations even without the Crimean Bridge and land-bridge;
- As Ukraine’s inevitable defeat becomes more widely accepted, NATO will have to decide whether to cut its losses and demonstrate to other proxies its lack of commitment or continue its commitment and demonstrate to its proxies that the collective West is simply, fundamentally weak;
