Russian President Vladimir Putin tells Russian companies they must protect sites from Ukrainian drone attacks, warning that the state can seize or take temporary control of their assets if they fail to do so. The warning links air-defense responsibilities to the protection of critical infrastructure, suggesting that private owners may face government intervention when drones cause or enable disruption.
The reporting describes Putin’s message as a move to tighten enforcement around the defense of key facilities. One outlet frames it as a threat of consequences—specifically asset seizures or temporary government control of critical infrastructure—should companies not meet expected security requirements. The details vary in emphasis across accounts, but the core claim remains that the state reserves new authority tied to drone interception and infrastructure safety.
