Ukraine has sent a note to the European Commission on the possible intensification of cooperation in nuclear energy with Russia, demanding that the permission issued to Rosatom to continue construction of the second stage of the Paks NPP in Hungary be reviewed. This was announced by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal.

Rosatom is part of the Putin regime that supports his terrorist activities and endangers nuclear facilities..

The Ukrainian government expects that the preliminary decision on the implementation of Rosatom's project to build nuclear reactors in Hungary will be reviewed, since against the backdrop of the blowing up of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station and the occupation of the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, such steps look surreal.

According to the Prime Minister, he raised this issue during his speech at the session dedicated to Ukraine within the framework of the meeting of the OECD Council at the ministerial level.

Shmyhal stressed that sanctions against Russia should be tightened, in particular in areas such as nuclear energy.

“We must do everything to make business as usual with a terrorist country impossible and no longer support the Russian military machine,” the head of government said in a statement..

Under the agreement, Russia provides Budapest with a loan of up to 10 billion euros for the construction of two power units at nuclear power plants and becomes the sole supplier of nuclear fuel to Hungary.

In March, Hungary began talks with France to increase its role in the Hungarian nuclear program.. This may lead to the fact that Russia will no longer participate in the development of a unified Hungarian nuclear power plant..
