> First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov said Putin’s decree allows temporary state management of critical infrastructure whose owners fail to protect it from drone and other security threats, but does not change ownership or amount to nationalization. He said the measure will not be applied broadly and decisions will be targeted and made at the highest level.
