Russia has enacted legislation granting the government expanded powers to seize assets of companies failing to adequately protect critical infrastructure from drone attacks. This new law allows for the potential takeover of property and shares, even if the company is foreign-owned. The measure appears to be a response to increasing drone strikes within Russia and perceived shortcomings in existing defense systems. Authorities cite the need to bolster security and prevent further disruptions to essential services. Critics suggest the law is a pretext for increasing state control over strategic sectors of the economy. The decree highlights Russia’s vulnerability to drone warfare and its increasingly authoritarian approach to national security concerns. This move signals a wider trend of tightening governmental oversight following a series of alleged Ukrainian drone incursions.
