Alexandra Prokopenko assesses Russian nuclear energy monopoly Rosatom’s international activity in the wake of Russia’s war in Ukraine and U.S. and allied efforts to apply economic pressure through sanctions. She concludes that in view of U.S. and EU reliance on Rosatom for uranium and enrichment services, “reducing Rosatom’s global role will not be quick, easy, or cheap”.
