Rosatom reportedly prepared to cut ties with a Paks II contractor it publicly defended

POLITICO reports Rosatom’s chief executive approved preparations in December 2025 to terminate contracts with Orgenergostroy, including its Paks II work, after publicly assuring that the contractor’s work would continue without disruption. Internal documents recorded roughly €57 million in advance payments for unfinished work and €10.6 million owed to Hungarian subcontractors. Rosatom called the documents outdated and said its problems with Orgenergostroy were resolved and the project was proceeding as planned.
