Putin Decree Allows State Seizure of Poorly Protected Critical Infrastructure

President Vladimir Putin signed a decree granting the state authority to temporarily seize control of critically important infrastructure if it's insufficiently protected against Ukrainian drone attacks and other threats. This includes fuel, energy, industrial, communication, transport, and logistics facilities. The state can take over physical and financial assets, as well as formal ownership rights, if owners fail to protect or quickly repair them. This move comes amid intense Ukrainian attacks on oil refineries and commercial warehouses.
