Russia to place enterprises with security problems under temporary “external management”
Russian leader Vladimir Putin on Monday signed a decree allowing critical infrastructure facilities in Russia whose owners fail to take adequate measures to protect them, including against drone attacks, to be placed under temporary “external management.”
Russian authorities have announced plans to place companies with security concerns under temporary "external management" according to a new decree. The decree, titled "On Measures to Ensure the Security of Critical Infrastructure Facilities of the Russian Federation," grants the Federal Agency for State Property Management or a designated individual the authority to manage these enterprises.
The administrator will have full control over the company's movable and immovable assets, securities, and ownership stakes, as well as other rights typically held by the owner. Critical infrastructure facilities encompass a wide range of sectors including fuel and energy, industrial enterprises, communications, utilities, transportation, logistics, and transport and logistics complexes, as well as other enterprises deemed crucial for national security and vital activities.
Under current Russian law, companies are responsible for their own security, either independently or with private security firms. Russian President Vladimir Putin previously commented on the escalation of Ukrainian attacks on logistics and infrastructure facilities in Russia on August 19.
