Activists sue to bar Rosatom from German nuclear fuel plant, citing EU sanctions gap

German environmental group BUND is suing to prevent Russia's Rosatom from participating in fuel fabrication at the Lingen nuclear plant, arguing that the EU's failure to sanction Russia's nuclear sector allows Moscow access to critical infrastructure amid the war in Ukraine and sabotage incidents in Germany. The case highlights a sanctions loophole and raises questions about energy security and Russian influence in European nuclear supply chains.
