Russian

security forces can create informational conditions to justify the nationalization of oligarchs' resources to finance military operations.

This was reported by the American Institute for the Study of War (ISW) on the morning of December 25.

For example, the head of "Vagner's Communist Party" Yevgeny Prigozhin attended the funeral of a Wagnerian in St. Petersburg on December 24, where he stated that the terrorist state needs to confiscate luxurious property and housing from elites who ignore or do not support military actions for fear of losing a luxurious lifestyle.

According to Prigozhin's nonsense, these oligarchs support a vision in which so-called "Western curators" should "dominate" Russia in exchange for sponsoring their lifestyles, and compared the modern Russian oligarchy to Ukraine or Russia in the 1990s. 

Bloggers associated with Wagner PMC supported Prigozhin's criticism of Russian officials and praised his support for military actions.

According to the Institute for the Study of War, Prigozhin uses such populist proposals to raise his authority among society and influence the return of tougher nationalization measures.

ISW recalls that Putin "nationalized" big business in the early 2000s to strengthen his authoritarian kleptocracy.

Meanwhile,

on December 24

 , 66-year-old Oleksandr Buzakov, the general director of the Russian shipbuilding enterprise "Admiralty Shipyards" located in the western port of St. Petersburg, died suddenly.

During his leadership, Admiralty Shipyards began to specialize in the construction of advanced diesel submarines capable of launching Kalibr cruise missiles.

We will remind you that the Ministry of Defense of Great Britain reports that the Russians not only

lack ammunition, but also have a limited number of cruise missiles.

Therefore, Moscow also limited its long-range missile strikes on Ukrainian infrastructure to about once a week.
