According to POLITICO's information, the nuclear energy sector is not included in any of the current EU sanctions packages, and therefore, of course, neither is the name of Rosatom.
The European Commission has abandoned plans to impose sanctions on Russia's nuclear industry or its representatives in its next sanctions package, three diplomats told POLITICO on Thursday.
The EU's executive body initially told EU countries that it was trying to develop sanctions on Russia's civilian nuclear sector. And before last week's meeting of EU leaders, he himself
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky urged the European Union to impose sanctions at least against the Russian nuclear energy company Rosatom.
However, this plan failed, said the three diplomats mentioned, referring to the latest sanctions drafts. The EU's sanctions packages consist of several parts: According to drafts seen by POLITICO and EU diplomats who requested anonymity, none of them includes the nuclear energy sector.
Due to this development, several EU diplomats have already expressed their serious disappointment.
Civilians. Info: Obviously, everyone knows that this whole sanctions thing is pointless. What should be done, the question arises. Negotiate, initiate negotiations without preconditions. Obviously, Putin feels cheated because of Minsk, which agreement was actually just a ruse in order for Ukraine to become stronger and even be able to stand up against the Russian bear as a war party. With the sanctions, the West is apparently trying to put band-aids on the injuries to its own moral reputation, while in fact it is serving American interests in both the economic and military fields.
The question usually arises like this: is it permissible to negotiate with the aggressor. But it could also be asked what made a nuclear power an aggressor? Who underestimated the danger, in whose interest was the exploitation of the Donbas energy resource. Who owns the companies? Who supports and controls the current Ukrainian leadership?
The correct answers are in envelopes at the conference table. Until then, the sanctions will be selective, but we still need Russia in the matter of nuclear energy. If memory is not so selective, perhaps there will be a ceasefire and peace in the much-suffering areas.
