"Nuclear Power's Global Resurgence: Russia, U.S. Push for Prominence at Climate Talks"

Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and Saudi Arabia is met with protests as activists accuse him of environmental crimes in Ukraine. Meanwhile, Russia and the United States are promoting nuclear power at the UN Climate Talks, with the US launching an international engagement plan to boost nuclear fusion. However, Russian environmentalist Vladimir Slivyak argues that nuclear power is a risky and expensive technology that diverts resources from renewable energy, which he believes is the most efficient solution to climate change. He also criticizes the US for aligning with Russia on this issue, calling it a failed solution. Slivyak further discusses the environmental damage caused by Russia's war in Ukraine and the repression of activists in Russia under the Putin regime.
