‼️ Energy Ministers of Ukraine and the USA discussed sanctions against Rosatom

During a working trip to the United States, the Minister of Energy of Ukraine Herman Halushchenko held a bilateral meeting with the United States Energy Minister Jennifer Granholm.

The head of the Ministry of Energy briefed his colleague on the russian aggressor's targeted destruction of Ukrainian energy infrastructure and regular shelling of nuclear facilities.

The parties paid special attention to the situation at the Zaporizhzhya NPP. The ministers discussed the outcomes of the IAEA mission at the ZNPP and further steps for its demilitarization. It was emphasized the need for the complete withdrawal of troops from the power plant site and the adjacent areas.

Jennifer Granholm expressed her whole-hearted support for Ukraine in the issue of the ZNPP deoccupation and its return to the full control of a legitimate Ukrainian operator. The Minister stressed that the russian military is putting both the NPP itself and the entire region at serious risk.

Herman Halushchenko emphasized that the russian state-owned corporation Rosatom is directly involved in aggression against Ukraine and covers up acts of nuclear terrorism.

«The civilized world should respond by the imposition of sanctions against Rosatom and the rejection of the aggressor's nuclear technologies not only in new projects, but also in those already launched,» Herman Halushchenko stressed. He reminded that the Ukrainian government has already initiated to the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine the imposition of sanctions against more than 700 individuals and legal entities associated with Rosatom.

The head of the Ministry of Energy also noted that the US Westinghouse has the potential to replace the russian corporation on the world market and Ukraine has already made its choice in this direction.

Thus, NNEGC «Energoatom» refused to cooperate with Rosatom and expanded agreements with Westinghouse to supply nuclear fuel for all operating Ukrainian nuclear power plants. The planned corporatization of Energoatom, the draft law on the specifics of which the government has already submitted for consideration by the Verkhovna Rada, will also contribute to deepening cooperation between Ukrainian and US companies.

Furthermore, preparations for the next heating period and optimal ways of international support for Ukraine in gas procurement were discussed at the meeting
