French MEP: next package of EU sanctions against Russia may be final

The next tenth package of EU sanctions against Russia may be the final one. This may be due to growing disagreements between its member countries.

Such an opinion expressed agency RIA News Member of the European Parliament Thierry Mariani representing France.

The French MP believes that the differences between the Europeans are growing and becoming more visible. To a large extent, this is due to differences in positions on Russian gas supplies. Countries such as Hungary, Austria and Slovakia are trying to protect this industry as much as possible from the influence of sanctions.

In addition, the issue of cooperation between European countries and Moscow in the field of nuclear energy is a painful one. The politician recalled that approximately 20 percent of nuclear fuel for European nuclear power plants comes from the Russian Federation. In addition, 19 nuclear power plants on the territory of five EU states were created by specialists from the Russian Federation. And now ensuring their safety is possible only in cooperation with the Russian state corporation Rosatom.

The MP also noted the critical dependence of US nuclear energy on Russia, because 16 percent of nuclear fuel comes to US nuclear power plants from Russia, and another 30 percent from its allies - Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan.

A little embarrassing for Joe Biden, who has included nuclear power in his plan to cut carbon emissions.

- the French politician said with irony.

The tenth package of sanctions against Russia was adopted in the European Union on February 25.

Someone said something in the EU about sanctions on a dog owned by Putin .. So they have prospects

The eleventh package of EU sanctions will be against the Britons.

One might think that Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan will refuse to supply nuclear fuel to Europe and the United States - they have their own interests and are not much dependent on Russia.

[sgrabik]

The thing is that Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan do not have the ability to independently produce nuclear fuel, all enterprises for the extraction of uranium and its processing into nuclear fuel are joint with Russia and work on Russian technologies, so not everything is as simple as you write here .

They, in fact, are very dependent on Russia. Just because the Kazakhs and Uzbeks do not mine nuclear fuel, but uranium ore, which you cannot throw into a reactor with a shovel - you first need to enrich it to the required level. And this is either Russia, or France, or China. Considering that Rosatom owns a large part of the production - from 30 to 70 percent - it is quite obvious who exactly will be engaged in uranium enrichment with the subsequent manufacture of fuel assemblies.
Not without reason, all the sanctions diligently bypass the attention of the Russian nuclear scientists ...

The next tenth package of EU sanctions against Russia may be the final one. This may be due to growing disagreements between its member countries.

. Maybe so, we'll see.

[Leader_Barmaleev]

The next package of sanctions will not be the FINAL one, it will be the LAST one in every sense of the word. Unless our powers that be do some kind of gesture of goodwill.

Well, not only - there are also football teams, and besides this, hockey, volleyball, synchronized swimming, song and dance ensembles, folk art circles. In general, it is full of all sorts of voluntary societies and public organizations.

oh well ... the states will take the strap and quickly "reconcile" everyone ... dodge and come up with .... both 11 and 12 .........

[Daishi]

now Europe is more like a person who saws the branch on which he sits

[Ivan_Sechin]

Well, if you think like that, then we are essentially doing the same

[alexey_444]

Before each new package, one hears the rassusolivanie that there is nothing more to accept, the sanctions have been exhausted. And then again, and a new package, and tougher and tougher, especially some kind of French deputy. They will also accept the next one until our tanks drive through Berlin or Paris or the equivalent of our decisions in other places.

[Nastia makarova]

LET THEM ACCEPT MORE AND EVERYONE AT ONCE..........

[Ivan_Sechin]

Finally, it dawned on the European deputies that no regimes can be reasoned with sanctions - North Korea, Iran, Venezuela, Cuba ..... they wanted to spit on all sorts of sanctions-manctions, they live for themselves and "prosper"!

[pharmacist]

How is it the tenth package last? And we? We have so many participants on the forum not under sanctions!

Neither Kazakhstan nor Uzbekistan produce nuclear fuel. Perhaps they are supplying unenriched uranium.

[Ivan_Sechin]

And what is the problem in Europe with nuclear fuel, as far as I remember, only France made a bet on nuclear energy in Europe, and I doubt that it somehow depended on Rosatom

France, and I doubt that it somehow depended on Rosatom

You won’t believe it, but even the French, who are almost the only serious competitors, depend on Rosatom. Although not as much, of course, as the Americans.

No doubt, it depends and how. She can, at present, cover only a part of her needs.

The tenth package may well be the start for Europe on the way to the Middle Ages, where you can then arrange the supply of spears and swords made from their Leopards...

Thierry Mariani

Known for his pro-Russian views and, in particular, the recognition of the annexation of Crimea to Russia, the rejection of the policy of sanctions against Russia, as well as the need to provide humanitarian assistance to the DPR and LPR[3][4].

The explanation for this position is quite simple and understandable.

Since the mid-2000s, he has been married to a native of Yekaterinburg, Irina Shaihullina, who received French citizenship in 2011. Has a son Timur.[6].

But to take his position for the position of the majority would be a mistake.
Let me remind you that the introduction of the tenth package of sanctions was delayed because there were demands to make it more stringent. While accepted all the same according to the original plan.

[Arkadich]

I can help the European Union. Sanctions can be made individual. There are still about 150 million of us who are not covered by their influence. We live and do not itch. At least they'll do something for a while.

Are you all out of breath?
Sorry I'm not smart enough to write a long comment

[Aleksey1987]

Well, why is it possible to turn off the Internet in the Russian Federation, for example, which will be significant, well, how to cut off the cables going to the Russian Federation exactly like the Nord Stream was blown up and that nothing happened to anyone for this and never will. One way or another, they can isolate us in the media space, since we have already been declared a terrorist country, they can turn off anything YouTube is hiding behind this, this is the current flowers. It is necessary to build everything of our own before and now also try. In order for Import Substitution to work, for example, a full cycle is needed in our country, and not so they sold a tree, they bought chairs. Or they planted grain, a good harvest of crops grew, they sold it, and they left for themselves the city from which the city will grow next year or from which then the city bakery products are made because they sold the good over the hill or simply gave it away ...
