Germany announces sanctions on importing Russian uranium ore! White House angrily denounces stupidity: it will take the opportunity to expand nuclear weapons

In recent days, EU diplomats said Germany had decided to back a proposal to impose sanctions on uranium imports from Russia. After the news was made public, the relationship between Germany and Russia was further plunged into a delicate situation, which is another bad news for the resumption of energy cooperation between the two countries. The diplomat said: The German permanent representative made the statement on Wednesday, saying it was a new position from Berlin. And what is particularly striking is that Berlin not only agreed to impose sanctions on Rosneft, but also proposed a more detailed plan.

According to the EU diplomat, Germany believes that in order to sanction Russian oil, it is not simply to set a price cap to control the rise in oil prices, but to start from the root cause, actively promote the elimination of oil, and ban Russian uranium. The German side has been hesitant about whether to ban the purchase of Russian oil before. The German Chancellor also had a phone call with the Russian President to discuss the issue of related energy transactions, but the result did not reach an agreement. At the same time, the domestic energy crisis in Germany is also fermenting.

Recently, the United Kingdom, which has been tough on Russia's energy sanctions recently, suddenly made a 180-degree turn, expressing its agreement to pay in rubles and continue to purchase Russian natural gas. The United Kingdom actually owns North Sea oil fields, and some domestic companies also have a small amount of natural gas exploration. Oil can get rid of Russia for a few years, and natural gas can also hold on for a while, but the UK still gives in. After all, these reserves are self-sufficient in "every emergency", and imports are still the first choice unless it is particularly bad.

However, Germany actually lacks oil resources and natural gas resources, and is very dependent on Russia. In this regard, chemical companies, food companies and manufacturing companies in Germany have all made suggestions to Berlin, saying that if there is a natural gas shortage or supply cut, the impact on the German economy and industry will be fatal. However, Berlin, Germany seems to still adhere to the pace and spirit of the White House, and continues to take a tough stance on Russia, not only sanctioning oil, but also uranium.

Uranium is currently the main nuclear fuel for nuclear power plants around the world, and European countries have been importing uranium ore from Russia for decades. After the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, when many European countries announced that Russian planes were prohibited from entering European airspace, some European countries did not have enough coal power plants due to lack of uranium mines. Out of desperation, they had to change the day and night, and made an exception to allow Russia's Il-76 to transport uranium ore, which once became an international joke. Germany is also relatively dependent on imports of uranium ore. During World War II, when Germany was making atomic bombs, it could only transport uranium ore from other places. This situation was mastered by the Allies, and they inherited transport ships many times, which prevented Germany from becoming a nuclear-armed country during World War II.

However, in terms of uranium mines, Germany is not highly dependent on Russia and can buy from other countries. Therefore, Germany is relatively firm in sanctioning Russian uranium mines. In terms of oil, Germany can also cooperate with Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, but in terms of natural gas, Berlin, Germany, did not mention a word, and did not talk about sanctions against Russian natural gas. Therefore, Germany obviously kept a hand and did not say too much. Recently, a number of EU member states have proposed to ban the import of nuclear fuel from Russia. Now it seems that Russian uranium mining companies are likely to suffer greater losses.
