Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday gave the state the power to temporarily take control of critically important infrastructure if it proves to be insufficiently protected against Ukrainian attacks. The measure comes as Ukraine is intensifying drone strikes on Russian refineries, logistics centres and other facilities important to the war economy. STVR (Minúta po minúte) ↗
The new decree expands the state’s ability to intervene in the private sector during military threats. Russian authorities will be able to take over the management of infrastructure if, according to the state, its operators fail to ensure adequate protection or if recovery after attacks takes too long. The mentioned targets of Ukrainian attacks also include commercial warehouses and logistics centres, which Kyiv accuses of supporting the Russian armed forces. aktuality.sk ↗
Tensions were also heightened by the latest attacks in Russia’s Krasnodar region, where Ukrainian drones, according to available information, caused a refinery fire and killed two people. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyj also called on European partners for significantly higher financial support and spoke about the need to expand drone and missile production so that Ukraine can carry out more attacks on Russian territory. ekonomika.pravda.sk ↗
With this step, the Kremlin is strengthening control over strategic assets and responding to the fact that the war is increasingly affecting Russia’s rear as well. Further developments will depend on the intensity of Ukrainian attacks and on how often Moscow uses the new powers against private companies. hnonline.sk ↗
