Putin Signs Order Allowing Government to Seize Critical Infrastructure Following Attacks

The decree, published on Monday, would allow Moscow to strip owners of physical and financial control over facilities should it be determined that they are failing to secure them or repair damage quickly.

Critical infrastructure facilities are defined as those in the fuel and energy sector, industrial facilities, communications, utilities, transport and logistics infrastructure (including transport and logistics complexes), energy facilities (including nuclear facilities), facilities providing essential services, critically important and potentially hazardous facilities, "and other facilities deemed essential to Russia's security, economic stability and the livelihoods of its population".
