(Reuters) -The Kremlin said on Wednesday it could seize more Western assets in retaliation for foreign moves against Russian companies, after taking temporary control of assets belonging to two European state-owned utilities.
President Vladimir Putin late on Tuesday signed a decree placing the Russian assets of Finland's Fortum and Germany's Uniper, which both operate power plants in Russia, under Moscow's control. Russia made clear that the move could be reversed.
