In the past, Washington blocked the implementation of Paksh-2, not allowing payments through banks falling under Rosatom penalties.
The United States has allowed a number of Russian banks under penalties to perform operations related to the construction of the Paksh-2 nuclear power plant in Hungary. On June 27, the corresponding license was issued by OFAC – a division of the US Treasury Department to control foreign ownership. This was reported by Rossmi.
According to the document, Gazprombank, Vnesheconombank, Radkombank, Oschadbank, VTB, Otkryt, Alfa-Bank, Rosbank, Zenit Banks and St. Petersburg, will join the construction of the Hungarian Nuclear Power Plant until December 19, 2025.
In Rosatom, engaged in the construction of nuclear power plants in Hungary, they confirmed the removal of restrictions.
It is noted that the state corporation itself is not under American penalties, as the United States from Russia has purchased Uranus wealth.
In the past, Washington blocked the sale of Paksh-2, not allowing payments through Rosatom suction banks.
Thus, in the previous version of the OFAC’s license, it is directly indicated that Gazprombank can conduct transactions for nuclear civil energy, but except for nuclear power plants in Hungary.
According to the head of the Hungarian Foreign Ministry, Peter Sihayo, such a decision was made “for the political reasons” of US administration Joe Biden. However, today, as Siyarteo said, in Washington “a president appeared, considering a friend of Hungary.”
Remember that in 2023 the European Union allowed Rosatom to complete the nuclear power plant in Hungary. In November 2023, Hungarian authorities agreed with Rosatom on Paksh-2’s nuclear power construction schedule, which they plan to build at the cost of a loan in Russia.
Ukraine opposed the construction of a nuclear power plant in Russia’s Hungary
