Zelensky calls for sanctions to be extended to Russia’s nuclear industry
Expand global sanctions to Russia’s nuclear industry. This was requested by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. “There is another step of our state’s sanctions against the terrorist state’s nuclear industry. With my decree, I implemented the decision of the National Security and Defense Council to impose sanctions on 200 people working for the nuclear industry Russia,” Zelensky said in his evening speech reported by Ukrinform, recalling Kiev’s decision to sanction 199 Russians and one Ukrainian, Yuriy Chernichuk, deputy chief engineer of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. “We are doing everything to make the sanctions against the Russian nuclear industry part of the global sanctions against Russia for war. It is not easy. There is some resistance, but there was a time when other restrictions against Russia seemed difficult to implement,” he stressed. “Now there are, for example, about oil and oil products from Russia,” he added. “All elements of the Russian system involved in war, delivering terror and financing aggression must be isolated from the global system. This will be done. This is all the more true for those who participated in the seizure and illegal actions at our nuclear power plant of Zaporizhzhia. Russia’s radiation blackmail against the world must be punished,” he concluded.
