Russia Mandates Private Businesses to Implement Air-Defense Amid Ukrainian Drone Strikes
Amid escalating Ukrainian drone strikes, Russian private businesses are increasingly required to implement their own air-defense measures. Following a drone attack on steel producer Severstal, companies are leasing or building air-defense systems and hiring personnel to counter threats. The Kremlin issued a decree mandating such protections, warning of possible temporary state seizure for non-compliance. This shift places more security responsibility on private firms, with the Finance Ministry considering tax breaks to offset related costs, reflecting the conflict's growing impact on Russia's economy.
