What is known about the new EU plan?

Kyiv's allies, like Ukraine itself, are outraged by the fact that over the past 3 years, EU countries have paid the aggressor country Russia more than 200 billion euros for energy resources.

What is important to understand is that of this amount, the share for payment for nuclear fuel is small — about 700 million euros out of 22 billion in 2024.

Despite this, official Brussels cannot ignore the risks to the EU's energy security that would arise in the event of a sudden cessation of supplies from Russia.

The EU has 101 nuclear reactors, 19 of which are Soviet-style VVER reactors, which are heavily dependent on Russian fuel and technical solutions. Overall, Russia provides 20–25% of the EU's needs for natural, converted and enriched uranium.

According to insiders, official Brussels is currently set on a total rejection of imports from Russia in the nuclear energy sector in the 2030s.
