Putin issues decree opening door to state control of key sites after deep Ukrainian drone strikes

Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree granting the government temporary control over key infrastructure if private owners fail to protect it from Ukrainian drone strikes or rebuild after damage. This decree applies to sectors including energy, transport, and communications, as Moscow faces mounting economic and political pressure from increasingly accurate Ukrainian attacks. Analysts view this measure as an ultimatum aimed at forcing repeatedly damaged commercial and oil facilities to undertake necessary restoration investments.
