Putin Signs Decree Allowing State Seizure of Poorly Protected Infrastructure
The decree lets the state take over assets and ownership rights at sites deemed poorly protected after attacks, including energy and logistics facilities.
- On Monday, Russian President Vladimir Putin authorized the state to assume temporary control of critical infrastructure facilities deemed poorly protected from Ukrainian drone attacks and other threats.
- This decree follows a surge in Ukrainian strikes targeting oil refineries, communications networks, and logistics hubs the Russian government deems essential to national security and economic stability.
- Attacks have significantly impacted major retailers; Kyiv has targeted at least two dozen Wildberries warehouses since July 18, while Ozon reported four facilities in southern Russia were targeted Monday.
- The state may now seize physical and financial assets, including formal ownership rights, if operators fail to maintain adequate security or are slow to repair facilities after attacks.
- Separately, Putin issued an order last week requiring the government to launch a program rebuilding commercial warehouses damaged or destroyed by Ukrainian forces in recent weeks.
