Ukraine: Yatsenyuk denounces Khmelnitsky nuclear power plant deal with Russia

Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk lashed out at Russia over their alleged non-completion of the Khmelnitsky nuclear power plant during a speech in Kiev, Wednesday, saying that the Ukrainian Cabinet had decided to immediately denounce the deal. According to Yatsenyuk, Russia has not fulfilled its obligations to finish work on the third and fourth blocks of the nuclear power plant. Yatsenyuk said that "the Cabinet has decided to immediately denounce the agreement with the Russian Federation". An intergovernmental agreement on cooperation in the construction of the 3rd and 4th units of the plant was signed by Ukraine and Russia on June 9, 2010. The Khmelnitsky plant currently has two operational units that date back to the 1980s.
