Rosatom CEO signals South Korea ready for nuclear cooperation despite sanctions

Rosatom CEO Alexey Likhachev claims South Korea is ready to cooperate with Russia in nuclear energy, suggesting Seoul was compelled to impose sanctions under external pressure. This is a Russian narrative aimed at signaling potential sanctions erosion, but no concrete agreement or official South Korean confirmation is provided. The claim is unverified and likely part of Russia's diplomatic outreach to split Western unity.
