Minister of Defense of the Republic of Lithuania Arvydas Anusauskas said that the Russian nuclear industry, including Rosatom, should be under sanctions. Guildhall reports..

“Even without the argument that Rosatom is a participant in the nuclear programs of the Russian Federation, the sanctions policy should be built in such a way as to blow up the entire economy of the aggressor country. Any sector of the economy that is used to expand an aggressive policy or one or another threatening direction should be under the pressure of sanctions,” Anusauskas said..

According to him, a number of countries, including Eastern European ones, maintain fairly close relations with Russian nuclear enterprises.. Therefore, in the dialogue to include the concern in the lists of sanctions, there is not always a consensus.

“The argument that Rosatom is involved in the production of nuclear weapons of the Russian Federation, of course, should be used in the discussion about the imposition of sanctions.

So far, these arguments have been related to the presence of Russian troops at nuclear facilities in the occupied territories of Ukraine, with threats of the use of nuclear weapons, but I think that Rosatom is a part of the industry that also provides military needs, the needs of the Russian Federation in nuclear. weapons and sanctions must be introduced,” added the head of the Ministry of Defense.
