flag France ships reprocessed uranium to Russia, violating Ukraine war sanctions, despite orders to stop.

flag Greenpeace reports France is shipping reprocessed uranium to Russia for reuse, defying sanctions over the war in Ukraine. flag The shipment, observed in Dunkirk, marks the first such consignment in three years and involves a long-standing contract between France’s EDF and Russia’s Rosatom. flag Despite France ordering EDF to halt the trade in 2022, no action has been taken. flag Only a small portion of the reprocessed uranium is used in France’s Cruas nuclear plant, the only one capable of handling it. flag Greenpeace calls the trade “immoral” and urges an end to the contracts, citing Russia’s occupation of Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia plant. flag Neither France’s energy ministry nor EDF has commented.
