Russia’s Rosatom Will Continue Foreign Nuclear Power Plant Projects Despite UK Sanctions

Russia’s state‑owned nuclear group Rosatom announced it will press ahead with its overseas nuclear power‑plant projects despite the United Kingdom’s new sanctions targeting three of its subsidiaries. The UK imposed nearly 300 measures aimed at curbing Russian energy revenues, citing Rosatom’s role in securing foreign contracts. Rosatom maintains that the restrictions are illegitimate under international law and that safety remains paramount. The company, which is involved in roughly 40 projects abroad, says the sanctions will not halt construction in markets such as Kazakhstan, Bangladesh and Turkey.
