OREANDA-NEWS Rosatom is fully prepared for possible sanctions from the European Union and will not be left without foreign orders, said Alexey Likhachev, head of the Russian nuclear state corporation.

"Are we ready for this (possible EU sanctions - ed.)? Of course, yes. I would like to emphasize that we are fully competent in all areas of nuclear energy. We will definitely not be out of work both at home and abroad. In a good way, we have a queue of our international partners to implement projects in the nuclear energy sector, and not only in the nuclear energy sector," Likhachev told reporters.

Russia has repeatedly stressed that the country will cope with the sanctions pressure that the West began to exert on Russia several years ago and continues to strengthen. Moscow emphasized that the West lacks the courage to admit the failure of sanctions against Russia. Western countries themselves have repeatedly expressed the opinion that anti-Russian sanctions are ineffective.
