Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree authorizing the government to temporarily seize economic assets that fail to implement adequate security measures. The order specifically targets facilities lacking defenses against unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as drones. This move appears to be a response to increasing drone attacks within Russia, particularly targeting infrastructure. The decree grants authorities the power to utilize these assets for the needs of national defense and state security. Ownership remains with the original entity, but control transfers to the state during the period of requisition. The decree does not specify which facilities are immediately affected, leaving room for broad interpretation and potential impact on various businesses. This measure underscores Russia’s heightened concern over security threats and its willingness to leverage private resources for defense purposes.
