Uranium Unleashed reported in mid-March 2026 that Russia quietly controls one of the most critical chokepoints in the global energy system. Nearly 40% of the world’s enriched uranium flows through Russian infrastructure.
As nuclear power expands worldwide, this hidden dependency could reshape the balance of geopolitical power. In this strategic intelligence breakdown, we analyze Russia’s uranium strategy, the global dominance of Rosatom, and why uranium enrichment—not raw uranium—is the real geopolitical weapon. From reactor exports to fuel supply chains, Russia has built a vertically integrated nuclear empire that could influence energy security for decades.
This video explores:
- Russia’s nuclear fuel cycle dominance,
- The uranium enrichment chokepoint,
- Western efforts to break dependency,
- The US ban on Russian uranium imports,
- Why next-generation reactors depend on Russian HALEU fuel, and
- The geopolitical battle for nuclear energy supply chains
As the world turns back to nuclear power to meet climate goals, control over uranium processing may become one of the most important strategic advantages of the 21st century.
