Americký Senát odhlasoval zákaz dovozu uranu z Ruska, protože Washington více než dva roky poté, co prezident Vladimir Putin zahájil rozsáhlou invazi na Ukrajinu, zvyšuje tlak na válečnou ekonomiku Moskvy.

Návrh zákona, který v prosinci prošel Sněmovnou reprezentantů USA, v úterý jednomyslně odhlasovali senátoři. Očekává se, že zákon podepíše americký  prezident Joe Biden.

Zákaz dovozu uranu vstoupí v platnost 90 dní po jeho uzákonění a jeho platnost vyprší 31. prosince 2040. Obsahuje také výjimky v situacích týkajících se energetiky a národní bezpečnosti.

„Nebezpečné spoléhání Ameriky na ruský obohacený uran musí skončit – závisí na tom naše národní bezpečnost,“ uvedl v prohlášení senátor Jim Risch, spolupředkladatel zákona.

„Naše dvoustranná legislativa pomůže financovat ruskou válečnou mašinérii,“ řekl senátor John Barrasso, další spolusponzor.

Americký úřad pro energetické informace odhaduje, že americké jaderné elektrárny dovezly přibližně 12 % svého uranu z Ruska v roce 2022, v roce, kdy ruští vojáci překročili hranici s Ukrajinou.

Washington v reakci na rozsáhlou invazi zakázal dovoz ruské ropy a omezil cenu ruského vývozu energie.
