Ukraine energy minister wants to add the Russian nuclear energy sector and LNG to future sanction packages. The government prioritizes the worsening situation at the Zaporizhzhia plant, which Russia controls in southeastern Ukraine, over Russia’s plans to place nuclear weapons in Belarus. Meanwhile, president Zelenskiy accused Russia of operating the plant incorrectly and engaging in “radiation blackmail.” In a separate development, the EU agreed to extend the voluntary gas consumption reduction agreement by one year, aiming to achieve a 15% reduction in gas consumption.
