Poland and Ukraine on Thursday called for international sanctions against Russia's nuclear energy sector, saying they feared their neighbour may hurt energy security and economies in Europe if attacks on Ukrainian power facilities continue.
Last week, the European Union adopted the tenth package of sanctions targeting Russia, but did not include its nuclear energy sector because of opposition from some EU member states.
"If we want to develop nuclear, ... we need to suspend Russia in International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)," Anna Moskwa, the Polish climate and environment minister, said at an energy conference in the Croatian capital of Zagreb.
