The issue of banning the supply of uranium from the Russian Federation to the United States as a response to the embargo of Russian energy resources is on the agenda, it is being studied, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said.

The United States in early March imposed a ban on the import of Russian oil and other energy products.

Asked how he felt about the proposal to impose a ban on the export of uranium from Russia as part of a retaliatory package against the United States, Novak said: "This issue is also on the agenda, it is being studied."

As Reuters reported earlier, Russia, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan provide about 50% of the uranium to the American industry, and representatives of the sector are in favor of the White House retaining permission to import uranium from Russia.

Note that China already told that they are ready to buy all 100% of US part of Kazahstan export. US will be forced to close up to 50% of their plants as no other large supplier exist in the world.
