DetailsIt is noted that the license allows transactions involving a number of Russian financial institutions, including Gazprombank, VTB Bank, and the Central Bank of the Russian Federation, if they relate to the implementation of the NPP project.
The license was issued after Hungary signed a nuclear energy cooperation agreement with the United States this month during a meeting between President Donald Trump and Viktor Orban.
Under the agreement, Hungary undertakes to purchase American nuclear fuel, as well as American technologies for storing spent fuel.
RecallThe White House confirmed Hungary’s exemption from US sanctions on the construction of new nuclear power units by the Russian corporation Rosatom.
Earlier it was reported that the US administration lifted sanctions from the project to expand the Hungarian Paks NPP, which were imposed by the previous government of Joe Biden.
