Russia is tightening state control over European-owned businesses, placing the Russian assets of Nestlé, Metro and Auchan under “temporary management.” The measures remove the companies’ operational control without immediately changing formal ownership, but analysts warn they could create a path towards full confiscation or nationalisation. Moscow says the action is a response to what it calls “unfriendly” Western countries and their support for Ukraine. Reuters reports that 135 foreign-linked firms, mainly tied to EU countries, have faced temporary administration since the war began, while no major US company has been targeted in the same way. Analysts say the strategy may pressure Europe and exploit divisions within the transatlantic alliance.
