Where are sanctions against Rosatom?

The Russian forces, under the orders of war criminals, are deliberately striking substations near Ukrainian nuclear power plants with missiles

The Ukrainian Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, essentially a ticking time bomb, remains in the hands of the deranged invaders.

They are targeting civilian infrastructure. This goes far beyond any norms or rules of warfare...

“This is large-scale Russian state terrorism, blatant and unhidden. Its goal is to deprive millions of people in the heart of Europe of basic necessities (heat in winter, water, sanitation ensured by reliable electricity supply), and to break their ability to resist aggression.”

The IAEA officially confirms these intentions. Everyone sees what is happening...

Almost three years of full-scale war have already passed. There has been more than enough time to reorient needs toward new partners. Where are the sanctions against Rosatom?

“This is no longer just Russia's energy weapon. It is no longer merely a source of funding for continued aggression. Now, they are manufacturing weapons there and bypassing sanctions to supply components for the very missiles used to kill people.”

If you are ready to “support for as long as it takes,” then now is exactly the time to resolve the issue of cutting off Rosatom! This is urgently needed. Immediately!

If not, then no one will have the moral right to deny Ukraine the symmetrical measures it needs to take in its heroic, independent self-defense.

You don't want an escalation in the war? Escalation is already on the doorstep—not just of Ukraine, but of your homes as well. Air contaminated with radiation, fear of the unknown, millions of new refugees fleeing the war... This is not hypothetical. It is one of the possible scenarios. And it can still be avoided.

Take decisive action!
