Russian President Vladimir Putin, commenting on Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko’s proposal to build a nuclear power plant in eastern Belarus to supply electricity to new regions of Russia, stated that financing is not an issue if there is a consumer willing to buy electricity and pay the required tariff.
“The issue of financing is not even on the table. If there’s a consumer who will buy electricity and pay the right tariff, it’s not a problem at all,” Putin said.
“That’s the most important thing,” Lukashenko responded to the Russian leader’s comments.
