“Unfortunately, the nuclear sector is not included in this proposal,” the newspaper quoted an unnamed diplomat as saying.

According to the publication, Paris has shown foresight in this matter.

The material says that at the beginning of the week, a representative of the French Ministry of Economy said that many nuclear power plants use Russian-made fuel.

Poland has previously proposed new anti-Russian sanctions to the European Union, including restrictions in the field of nuclear energy.

Lithuanian Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis said that the new EU sanctions package could include measures against Rosatom and Minsk.

His Hungarian colleague Peter Szijjártó called the tenth package of sanctions against Russia "a huge mistake."
