U.S. suspends cooperation with Russia on number of peaceful nuclear projects
MOSCOW. April 3 (Interfax) - The United States has suspended the cooperation with Russia on a number of peaceful nuclear projects, Russian state nuclear corporation Rosatom said in a statement.
It namely concerns a number of technical meetings, in particular on scientific topics, and what the U.S. refers to as Russia's actions in Ukraine.
"We consider this step to be wrong and contradicting the constructive spirit we had formed with the U.S. Department of Energy in the recent years. Nuclear energy is a very subtle and serious matter. A responsible and professional approach is needed here from all participants in international cooperation. Politicization is inappropriate here," Rosatom statement said.
"Any attempts to add some unilateral restrictions in this sector will first affect the initiators of such steps," the document said.
