We are not pro-Russian, we are pro-truth, and the truth must be told or people cannot make smart decisions in their lives.

Western media is working day and night to misrepresent the Russian government’s recent decree on drone defense measures at so-called strategic facilities. According to the allegedly alarmed Western media, the said Russian decree could be turned into a “business takeover” or even nationalization of private businesses, with the owner of the facility being forced to arm his business with weapons. None of the above is true and thus deserves to be disproven.

The decree is a civil defense compliance framework.

Note that the owner of a strategic facility will not have to combat drones himself. He is only obligated to fulfill the organizational, technological and legal requirements stipulated by government in order to neutralize potential threats to the facility.

In the event of an emergency at a strategic facility, an assessment of the management of the said facility will be conducted in order to determine if necessary measures to contain the consequences of such an event were actually implemented by the management. In the event that safety measures at the facility were only recorded on paper or that restoration of the plant is proceeding too slowly for various reasons, this will be considered as “ineffectiveness of measures” and the company may be taken under control by the state.

This is the provision that Western outlets have seized upon to spin a story of Moscow launching a seizure of private businesses. But read in context, this is a contingency provision — not a grant of open-ended authority to seize businesses.

What Must Owners Actually Do?

The obligations of the owners of critical infrastructure are reflected in the current Government decrees, including updated regulations No. 258 and No. 588 and industry-specific requirements for power generation, transmission and distribution facilities and oil and gas operations. There are three main categories:

1. Documentation and Planning (Security Passport)

In conducting a vulnerability assessment of the facility with relevant government agencies — including the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Ministry of Energy, and the FSB — the facility owner must determine the highest-risk areas of the facility to air strike and update the Security Passport to formally include UAV risk in the documentation.

2. Engineering and Technical Protection (Passive Defense)

The owner of the facility is required to physically defend the facility’s infrastructure so that in the event of an air strike the facility will not cease production entirely or cause an enormous catastrophe. Required measures include:

• Installation of containment booms and anti-drone netting; protection of fuel tanks, transformers, turbines, and other critical equipment with metal mesh and containment structures.
• Implementation of detection systems — radar or thermal imaging cameras capable of spotting approaching UAVs and triggering alarms.
• Deployment of authorized civil electronic warfare (EW) systems approved by government authorities, such as jammers and drone navigation signal suppression systems.

3. Organizational Measures

• Train personnel: Run regular exercises so employees know evacuation routes, alerting procedures, and emergency protocols.
• Establish a rapid-repair reserve: Stockpile construction materials and spare parts and organize emergency response teams.

A crucial provision of the decree: if an attack does occur, the owner is required to begin restoration work immediately. Delays in repairs constitute direct grounds for the imposition of state administration.

The Western Lie in Plain Sight

In reality, the framing pushed by outlets like JP, the BBC, and their echo chamber is flatly wrong. Russia is not forcing businesses to arm themselves, nor is it engineering a pretext to seize private companies.

There is no scenario in which a business owner is handed a weapon or a plant manager is conscripted into air defense. What the decree actually does is extend the logic of civil preparedness — the same logic that governs emergency planning at nuclear plants, chemical facilities, and critical infrastructure across every serious nation on earth — to the reality of drone warfare on Russian soil.

The provision allowing temporary state control in cases of documented negligence does not amount to nationalization. It is an enforcement mechanism for mandatory safety compliance — no different in principle from what Western regulators apply to financial institutions or utilities that fail to meet statutory requirements.

The misrepresentation of Russian wartime administrative actions is not accidental. All such measures are systematically portrayed by the Western media as examples of authoritarianism, with the aim of denying legitimacy to the government in Moscow and sustaining Western support for Ukraine. This is why the actual text of a decree gets suppressed while the accompanying spin gets amplified.

Read the decree. The facts speak for themselves.
