President Putin has signed a decree letting the Russian state temporarily seize critical infrastructure, including energy, industry, transport and logistics sites, if private owners fail to protect them from Ukrainian drone attacks or repair damage quickly. The Kremlin says it is not nationalization, but pressure is mounting after Ukraine struck dozens of Wildberries warehouses, hit Ozon logistics hubs, and repeatedly targeted Russian oil refineries including Afipsky and Novoshakhtinsk.
