Ukrainian Energy Minister German Galushchenko said that his country plans to increase uranium production and exclude Russia from the world uranium market. The official published a corresponding statement on the social network Facebook (its owner, Meta, is known as an extremist and is banned in Russia).
“Russia still controls a significant part of the world uranium market. “This slows down the implementation of sanctions because many companies have contracts with the Russians for the supply of uranium,” he said.
Galushchenko also emphasized that achieving this goal for Kiev is a matter of national security.
