Rosatom should be sanctioned for terrorism at Zaporizhzia NPP

Imposing sanctions on the Russian nuclear cow is a difficult but necessary step in suppressing the aggressor

Over the past few weeks, I have been honored by the attention of most of the well-known "leaking machines": Telegram, websites, specifically made for this purpose, and even Russian Internet resources - a full bouquet. The set of information messages is ridiculous and contradictory: according to the authors, I work for National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine and oligarchs at the same time, then I lure my friends to Ukraine and hide billions of dollars in assets. It was a standard set of stories, uncoordinated with each other.

I couldn't understand why there was so much attention, and who didn't feel sorry for spending money on this. But there are two important observations.

All this nonsense began to appear on portals with Russian domains. And the eloquent name further confirmed that we are on the right track. They are protecting their latest energy weapon and tool of geopolitical influence Rosatom, against which it is high time to impose sanctions, at least for terrorism at the Zaporizhzhia NPP.

"Rosatom and nuclear power remain the last energy outpost of the Kremlin. Thanks to this, they are still presented as a technological power on all continents. It is necessary to stop these energy weapons because their presence, particularly in the EU, is very similar to cancerous metastases that need to be removed to avoid disaster”

Rosatom and nuclear power remain the last energy outpost of the Kremlin. Thanks to this, they are still presented as a technological power on all continents. It is necessary to stop these energy weapons because their presence, particularly in the EU, is very similar to cancerous metastases that need to be removed to avoid disaster.

Unfortunately, the allies are still not ready to take radical steps, and Hungary persists in its resistance to sanctions. The resistance is even stronger than last spring, when we started storming the capitals and proving the need for sanctions against the entire energy sector.

Almost a year has passed since then, and the introduction of sanctions did not happen instantly, as we all would have liked. But the sanctions were eventually introduced and they are working like clockwork.

The imposition of sanctions on the Russian nuclear cow is a difficult but necessary step in suppressing the aggressor. And we need to keep pounding this rock.

And the alarming and panicked actiones of Russian nuclear lobbyists only confirm the correct direction of our efforts.
