"Putin's Nuclear Fuel Dominance Fuels Global Profits"

The US and European countries are heavily reliant on importing nuclear fuel and compounds from Russia, providing Moscow with significant revenue as it wages war on Ukraine. These legal imports have raised concerns among experts and officials who argue that they are indirectly funding Russia's nuclear arsenal and complicating efforts to curb its war-making capabilities. The dependence on Russian nuclear products leaves the US and its allies vulnerable to energy shortages if Russian President Vladimir Putin were to cut off supplies. As nations seek to increase their production of emissions-free electricity to combat climate change, the challenge of reducing reliance on Russian nuclear products is expected to grow.
