“Undoubtedly, this is how we will react to this fact, which is not unexpected, since we were warned about it,” TASS quotes him.
At the same time, the minister linked the physical launch of the BelNPP with the presidential elections in Belarus, since, in his opinion, the facility is being commissioned "not according to safety standards, but according to some other calendar a few days before the presidential elections in Belarus."
Earlier, the Russian state corporation Rosatom announced the start of loading nuclear fuel into the reactor of power unit No. 1 at the Belarusian NPP.
