The author of the article, Jiří Štastny, noted that in European countries that were previously part of the socialist bloc, electricity is generated by nuclear reactors created according to Soviet technology. Fuel for them is imported from Russia.

The publication says that in different countries, from Finland to Bulgaria, about 40 percent of electricity generation is generated by Soviet-style reactors. .jpg» />OPEC warned of a crisis in oil supplies due to sanctions against Russia»Dependence on these supplies has now become a serious problem,» according to a Czech observer.
