The United States continues to buy large amounts of uranium from Russia, even with international sanctions. In the first half of 2025, Russia became the biggest uranium supplier to the USA. American imports from Russia increased by 62% compared to last year.
Russia earned $755.6 million from uranium sales to America. France was the second biggest supplier with $680.3 million. The USA spent almost $2.9 billion on uranium imports in total.
American nuclear companies need Russian uranium to operate their power plants. Without Russian uranium, the US nuclear industry would have serious problems. Rosatom is the Russian state company that controls uranium exports.
Recently, Rosatom started building a new nuclear plant in Kazakhstan. Some Ukrainian sources claim that Rosatom has financial difficulties because of sanctions and war costs. However, official data shows that Rosatom continues to grow its business around the world.
