How Russian companies are fending off drones
With no military solution at hand, Vladimir Putin is trying to force businesses to organize their own defenses under the threat of seizing their assets if they can’t protect them.
In a recent report by The Bell, Russian companies are being forced to invest in their own defenses against Ukrainian drone attacks. Wildberries and Ozon, two major Russian e-commerce companies, have had their warehouses destroyed by Ukrainian drones. Additionally, dozens of oil refineries, sea ports, chemical plants, and microelectronics businesses have also been targeted.
In response to these attacks, Vladimir Putin has threatened to seize the assets of companies that fail to protect themselves. The Bell spoke to several Russian business figures about the measures these companies are taking to protect themselves and the costs associated with these defenses.
