Almost all of Europe has stopped buying Russian gas? The exception being nuclear powered France. [1]

You also do know that we despite 19 sanctions packages still haven’t been able to sanction the Russian nuclear industry? We’re just too dependent on it.

The French gas plants have been built to support renewables, France didn't have almost any gas plants prior 2010.

There's no sanctions on the Russian nuclear industry because it's a rounding error financially compared to gas or petrol.
