MOSCOW, April 26. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a decree to place foreign stakes in two energy companies - Russian subsidiaries of Unipro and Fortum - under administrative receivership.

The document, published on Tuesday, appoints the Russian Federal Agency for State Property Management (Rosimushchestvo) as the administrative receiver. The federal agency will exercise external management over 83.73%-percent stake in Unipro Russia and over 98%-percent stake in Fortum’s Russian division.
