Finland’s Fennovoima Oy dropped a contract with a Russian energy company for the delivery of a nuclear power plant under construction in the Nordic country.

The deal with a unit of Rosatom Corp. ends immediately, Fennovoima said in a statement on Monday, citing “significant and growing delays during the last years” and the company’s inability to mitigate the project’s growing risks as a result of Russia’s war.
