Russian President Vladimir Putin has issued a decree allowing the state to temporarily take control of critical infrastructure facilities. This move applies to various sectors, including energy infrastructure. The decree is in response to Ukrainian drone attacks that have damaged facilities, and it may pressure private owners to undertake repairs if they fail to protect or rebuild them.

The decree comes amid economic pressure and public frustration in Russia due to months of escalating attacks on oil refineries and other key facilities. Ukraine is also experiencing significant disruptions, including damage to its power grid and homes, as a result of aerial attacks.

Further details about the decree and its implications are available, but the Kremlin's exact intentions remain unclear.
