Russia’s nuclear energy expansion – a geopolitical footprint?
Oil and natural gas usually dominate the media discourse on Russia’s energy policies and the role they play in the country’s foreign policy deliberations. From the European perspective, this is entirely understandable, given the paramount importance of Russia as a major supplier of the blue fuel. Tracking the development of major pipeline projects under the Black or Baltic Seas and the squabbles around the gas transit through Ukraine, one could easily neglect another pivotal industry under Moscow’s control – the nuclear one.
