MOSCOW, November 30. /TASS/. The United States’ actions against Russia undermine its own competitiveness, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said in an interview with TASS.
"By the way, they [the Americans] have long been working to undermine the competitiveness of the European Union’s economies. As for this field (uranium supplies), their reckless and irresponsible policy will eventually undermine their own competitiveness. It’s their choice and we aren’t going to be upset about it," he noted.
According to Ryabkov, Washington’s policy causes harm to the United States. "Unfortunately, they don’t fully understand it," the senior Russian diplomat added.
Earlier, the Russian government introduced temporary restrictions on the export of enriched uranium to the United States. This concerns the export of enriched uranium to the US or its export under foreign trade agreements with entities registered in the jurisdiction of the United States. An exception was provided for supplies under one-time licenses issued by the Federal Service for Technical and Export Control. The move came in response to the restriction that Washington had imposed on Russian uranium imports for 2024-2027, and a future ban on imports starting in 2028.
