Putin Signs Decree Allowing State Seizure of Poorly Protected Infrastructure

The decree covers fuel, energy and logistics sites as Ukraine intensifies drone strikes on Russian infrastructure, Reuters reported.

  • 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.
