In the following package: Germany requires sanctions against Russian "peaceful atom"
In February, on the anniversary of the invasion of Russian troops in Ukraine, the European Union approved the 10th package of sanctions against the Russian Federation, but this did not affect the direction of trade relations with the Russian atomic industry, which are estimated at hundreds of millions of euros. "The Federal Government has negotiated with the European Commission on the inclusion of the civilian nuclear sector.
This should be one of the items of the next package of sanctions," the Ministry's statement said. All EU countries must be supported in order to approve. However, Hungary opposes any restrictions on Russian nuclear power. According to German Minister of Economy Robert Hbek, there are no excuses because the nuclear sector of the Russian Federation still provides a preferential regime. "Nuclear technologies are an extremely sensitive area.
But no" Business As Usual "can be discussed anymore," he said in an interview with the German media. According to the German ministry, the inclusion of the Russian nuclear sector in the next package will take some time, but such measures should be implemented in transitional periods. The importance of decisive actions in this area is emphasized. We will remind that, according to "Energoatom", on April 13 near the machine hall at the Zaporizhzhya NPP exploded.
