Putin Signs Decree Allowing State Seizure of Businesses Hit by Drones

Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree allowing the state to temporarily take control of businesses affected by drone attacks or unable to protect critical facilities. The measure reportedly covers companies whose sites are damaged, disrupted, or considered vulnerable. Officials say temporary management could help restore operations, strengthen defenses, and prevent losses. Critics may view the policy as a pathway to state seizure of private assets. Details about eligibility, duration, compensation, and enforcement remain subject to clarification by authorities.
