The US has sensitive nuclear technology at a nuclear power plant inside Ukraine and is warning Russia not to touch it, according to a letter the US Department of Energy sent to Russia's state-owned nuclear energy firm Rosatom last month.

    So, not only the U.S has biological labs in the Ukraine, but also nuclear technology inside the biggest nuclear power plant in Europe. I guess now it makes sense why the Ukrainian MOD wasted so many lives trying to recapture it instead of defending Bakhmut.

    “It is unlawful under United States law for non-authorized persons, including, but not limited to, Russian citizens and Russian entities,” the letter says, “such as Rosatom and its subsidiaries, to knowingly and willfully access, possess, control, export, store, seize, review, re-export, ship, transfer, copy, manipulate such technology or technical data, or direct, or authorize others to do the same, without such Russian entities becoming authorized recipients by the Secretary of the US Department of Energy.”

    It is not clear whether Rosatom has responded to the letter. The Energy Department’s National Nuclear Security Administration told CNN in a statement that the letter is authentic.

    Lmao even CNN didn’t believed they would really write such thing. I can only imagine Rosatom personnel reaction after reading that.
