  "account": "The Agency for the Recovery and Management of Assets (ARMA) is conducting a comprehensive audit and verification of over 250,000 square meters of seized warehouse space, with approximately 60,000 square meters already inventoried and ready for transfer to business management. This screening initiative, approved by Prime Minister Serhiy Koretsky and various government agencies, aims to prepare a list of warehouse spaces suitable for large retailers and logistics companies impacted by Russian attacks. Acting ARMA head Yaroslava Maksymenko stated that the assessment includes evaluating the technical condition of the facilities, access roads, seized properties, and actual usage to propose solutions for businesses. Inspected sites are primarily located in the Odesa and Dnipropetrovsk regions, encompassing dry and cold storage facilities, pharmaceutical warehouses, and grain elevators. The transferred assets will be available through public tenders for management rights, with future meetings scheduled to discuss terms with the business community. The State Property Fund of Ukraine is also auditing state-owned warehouse space, foreseeing around 190,000 square meters of potential transferable area in four western regions. According to an Interfax-Ukraine source, the audit covers about 190,000 square meters of warehouse space across these regions. Experts note that while many of the facilities are outdated and in poor condition, the government's offer may only address a small fraction of the total requirement, with only one-fifth of the needed space potentially covered in the most optimistic scenario.",
