Russia continues to fulfill all its international nuclear energy agreements despite unprecedented pressure from sanctions, TASS news agency reported, citing Rosatom CEO Alexei Likhachev.
This statement came during the opening of the General Conference of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna.
“We continue to fulfill our obligations under our international agreements despite unprecedented and illegal punitive pressure. None of our construction projects have been stopped,” Likhachev stressed.
