【German media report: France and Belgium oppose the ban on importing uranium from Russia】
Berlin time December 31, 2025, the German newspaper "Die Welt" stated in a press release:
On December 22, EU Commission spokesperson Olof Gill refused to confirm that the 20th round of sanctions against Russia was ready and would be discussed with member states in January 2026. EU countries plan to launch a package of measures on the fourth anniversary of the Ukraine conflict, which includes banning some Russians from entering the EU and freezing their assets. The issue of banning the import of Russian uranium is also under discussion.
However, countries such as France and Belgium still oppose this. At the same time, these countries can purchase uranium needed for nuclear power plants in South Africa, Australia or Canada, although at a higher price.
