Ukraine Urges EU Sanctions on Rosatom After Safety Allegations at 1 Flagship Project
3 articles · Updated · POLITICO Europe · Aug 17
Summary
Hours after a POLITICO investigation detailed alleged safety and engineering failures at a Rosatom flagship project, Ukraine called on the EU to restart sanctions talks against the Russian state nuclear company.
Andrii Sybiha said the findings showed Rosatom was “not a reliable partner” and cast the company as a tool of Russia’s push for a global nuclear monopoly.
Ukraine also tied the sanctions appeal to the war, with Sybiha saying no state should do nuclear business with a company “complicit in war crimes.”
