Rosatom State Corporation is unlikely to fall under EU sanctions under the tenth package of measures due to objections from a number of countries of the union, BLOOMBERG reports citing a source. Which countries oppose restrictions on Russian nuclear energy, the agency does not specify.

Last week, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, speaking at a meeting of the European Council in Brussels, called on the European Union to impose sanctions against Russia's nuclear industry, drone manufacturers and parts of the it sector, UNIAN reported. In early February, Rosatom came under the restrictions of Kyiv. In response, the state corporation stated that "nuclear energy should be out of the political conjuncture."
