Elite force bucks trend of Ukrainian losses on eastern front

The Azov brigade, which leaders say has a culture of ‘mutual respect’, is tasked with repelling relentless Russian attacks as the invaders make most of artillery mismatch

🇺🇦🇷🇺⚡- Russian forces have begun forward operations in the Kharkov region, over the past 12 hours.

Ukrainian media confirms Russian forces have captured Kislivka (Kupyansk-Kharkov direction).

The US has produced its first 90 kg of enriched uranium, President Biden said during the IBEW Construction and Maintenance Conference in Washington. He added that the country is “on track to produce nearly a ton by the end of the year, enough to power 100,000 homes."

According to the US Department of Energy, Russia exports enriched uranium to more than 90 commercial reactors in the US, making it the country's number one foreign supplier.

The US has become the main buyer of Russian uranium in 2023, increasing imports by 19 percent to 702 tons, Sputnik’s calculations based on data from national statistical services show.

Despite this dependence, last year the US approved a bill to ban imports of low-enriched uranium of Russian origin until 2040.

This signal from Washington on the possible abandonment of Russian uranium is at odds with the needs of the United States, CEO of Rosatom said. The stated intentions have led to an increase in prices on the world market, he noted.
