France is bypassing the sanctions against Russia by continuing trade with the Russian Federation, stating that only nuclear and fuel are on the EU sanctions list.
AP revealed, on September 29th, that Panama Flagged, a French cargo ship, left the French port of Dunkirk across the Northern Sea, heading toward the Russian Baltic port of Ust-Luga to bring back uranium. This operation is the third one this month. As a result, the French president is accused of compromising the position of the EU on sanctioning Russia.
Replacing the import of Russian gas with Russian uranium is merely taking another way to avoid EU accusations of the EU. What lies underneath are uncovered double standards.
