The press service of Rosatom told RBC that the state corporation had taken all measures to prevent the UK sanctions from affecting business. “The UK sanctions against the leadership of Rosatom, as well as a number of companies that are part of the State Corporation, do not contribute to productive cooperation in the nuclear field, but jeopardize international nuclear security,” the company warned.

They also emphasized that the position of the Russian nuclear industry is unchanged and lies in the fact that Rosatom "has always worked and continues to work around the world transparently, in the interests of partners, and with strict observance of international and national legislation."

The British Foreign Office assures that they do not seek to "do something bad for Russia, and even more so destroy it," despite the armed conflict in Ukraine. James Cleverly, the British foreign secretary, said London was helping Kyiv defend itself "against aggression" but was respectful of Russians and Russian history and culture.

The Russian authorities consider Western sanctions illegitimate, "crazy and thoughtless." The Kremlin insists that restrictive measures have never forced any countries to change their policies.
