Just last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin promised government help to rebuild warehouse infrastructure damaged in Ukrainian attacks.JOIN US ON TELEGRAMFollow our coverage of the war on the @Kyivpost_official. Now the Kremlin has added another response: if the state decides an owner failed to adequately protect a facility from Ukrainian drones – or took too long to rebuild it – the government can take control of the owner’s assets. Signed on Aug. 24, Decree No. 604 allows temporary state management if a business fails to take security measures, uses anti-drone defenses deemed ineffective, or fails to restore a damaged critical facility quickly enough. Kremlin puts responsibility on owners Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov made that clear Tuesday. “We are facing an obvious threat of drone attacks on critical infrastructure facilities,” Peskov said, adding that business owners “often do not pay enough attention” to anti-drone security. Given the threat to vital infrastructure, he said, Russia “must take measures” to ensure its security. But the decree turns that logic on its head: when a refinery, warehouse or factory is hit, the owner can be penalized for failing to prevent it – even though the Kremlin launched the war and Russia’s air-defense system is responsible for defending the country. The war bill moves to private pockets On paper, the decree gives companies a strong incentive to spend more on protection and rapid repairs.
