Tallinn, Estonia-Belarus on Friday unveiled a proposal to construct a second nuclear power plant capable of supplying energy in Russian-coaches areas of Ukraine.
President Alexander Luakshhenko, along with President Vladimir Putin, picked up plans during a meeting in Kremlin, which publicly appeared to support the idea.
Lusashenko stated that the plant can be used if Ukraine’s Kherson, Zaporizhjia, Luhansk and Donetsk to supply areas controlled by Russia if necessary.
The existed leader of Belarus opposition, Swariyatlana Tsikansakaya, told Associated Press that the schemes “put all Europe at risk.”
He said: “By proposing that Putin constructs another nuclear power plant in Belarus to supply electricity to the areas occupied in Ukraine, Lakhakhenko once again proves that he is entangled in Russian aggression. He is trading Belarusi sovereignty for power and profits from war crimes.”
Belarus opened its first nuclear power plant, in astraves, in November 2020, in neighboring Lithuania amid protests and anxiety, where authorities opposed the construction of the plant, just 40 km from the capital Villanius.
The Astravets plant was built with a $ 10 billion loan provided by Moscow by the Russian State Atomic Energy Corporation, Rosatom. Putin did not specify in Friday’s meeting whether Russia would provide financial support for another plant.
Lusashenko, who ruled Belarus for more than three decades, is a close associate of Kremlin. He allowed Russia to use the Belarusian region as a staging for a full -scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, and later authorized the deployment of the Russian strategic nuclear missiles.
