DHAKA, 27 February 2022, (TON): Bangladesh does not see any direct impact on the Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant and other projects now, but the country is keeping close tabs on the overall situation.
Foreign Secretary Masud Bin Momen told "so far, we think, there will be no direct impact on Rooppur or other projects.”
He, however, said, “there might be some effects if the financial transactions are routed through New York.”
The Rooppur Nuclear Power Plant is expected to become operational from next year. Originally, the first unit of the power plant was scheduled to open by 2024 and the second one by 2025.
According to AP “the US and European allies said Friday they were stepping up sanctions over Russia's invasion of Ukraine by adding measures directly targeting President Vladimir Putin and his foreign minister, putting diplomatic appeals to one side as Russia's forces closed on Ukraine's capital.”
