It
is increasingly urgent to do all we can to end
Russia’s war on Ukraine and achieve a peaceful
withdrawal of Russian forces from the country.
The nuclear dangers of this war cannot and
should not be underestimated. In
supporting Ukraine, we must condemn the violence
and warn US leaders about the nuclear
complications of this war.
There
is a concrete action that the US can take to
deter and condemn Russia’s nuclear violence on
Ukraine: Sanction the Russian nuclear industry.
If the US does not directly and forcefully
sanction Russia for these acts, we risk allowing
this war to establish a new international norm,
making nuclear power plants legitimate military
targets.
