Germany Seeks To Punish Russia’s Nuclear Sector With New EU Sanctions
(europeanconservative.com)https://europeanconservative.com/articles/news/germany-seeks-to-punish-russias-nuclear-sector-with-new-eu-sanctions/Berlin has officially requested that the civil nuclear sector should be included in the next round of EU sanctions against Russia. The European Commission was forced to abandon plans to feature this in its latest (10th) sanctions package due to opposition from Hungary, which is heavily reliant on the sector.
Brussels has worked to cut down its reliance on Russian gas and hamper the country’s production of coal since the February 2022 invasion of Ukraine. But trade with its nuclear energy industry, which is reported to be worth hundreds of millions of euros, has yet to be directly affected.
