"About 20%": The US is still purchased for nuclear reactors in the Russian Federation (video)

According to US Secretary of State Jeffrey Pitt, Joe Biden has already invited 2. 2 billion to reduce the dependence on Russian fuel in Congress. The United States continues to buy fuel for their nuclear reactors in the Russian Federation. This was stated by the US Secretary of State for Energy Jeffrey Payett at hearings at the Senate Committee on International Relations on Studying US National Security In Ukraine on November 8.

"About 20% of the fuel used by our nuclear reactors here in the United States is still coming from Russia," Payett said. According to the Assistant Secretary of State, to reduce the US dependence on the fuel of the Russian Federation, US President Joe Biden has already invited an additional $ 2. 2 billion in Congress.

Anthony Blinken's assistant noted that last week Washington imposed new sanctions against the Novatek project on natural gas production and the production of liquefied natural gas by Arctic LNG 2 and aim to "strangle" it. Jeffrey Piett also stressed that the administration allows the introduction of a ban on the import of nuclear fuel from the Russian Federation.

We will remind, on November 8 the profile committee of the Lower Hall of the United States supported the bill, which in the future will allow to confiscate frozen assets of Russia. It is expected that then these funds will be transferred to Ukraine as financial assistance. Earlier, on November 7, the media reported that Russia managed to adapt its economy and set it up more or less effective work, even in the conditions of rigid international sanctions.
