Putin's Decree: State Control for Companies Neglecting Critical Infrastructure
Putin hat ein Dekret erlassen, das staatlichen Behörden die Möglichkeit gibt, Unternehmen zu kontrollieren, deren kritische Infrastruktur vernachlässigt wird. Der Staat kann in solchen Fällen Material-, Finanzwerte und Eigentumsrechte übernehmen, was besonders Sektoren wie Energie und Logistik betrifft. Große Online-Händler sind explizit genannt, nachdem deren Lagerhäuser angegriffen wurden.
With the enactment of a new decree, Russia has introduced a far-reaching measure that allows state authorities to place the business activities of companies under compulsory administration. This legal step takes effect if owners fail to meet their due diligence obligations regarding critical infrastructure. In the event of such neglect, the state can exercise extensive rights and claim material, financial assets, and property rights. The measure thus foresees state intervention if it is not ensured that damages are eliminated quickly enough. Sectors such as energy, transport, and logistics are affected by this regulation, with state attention also being directed at large online retailers. Specifically, prominent players like Wildberries and Ozon are mentioned because their warehouses were the target of attacks. This regulation underscores the priority that the state attaches to maintaining critical supply and trade structures.
