Ukraine played a dirty trick on Belarusians: a burial ground will be built on the border to store American fuel for nuclear power plants
Kyiv, January 30 (PolitNavigator, Oleksandr Semenyuta) – The refusal to use Russian fuel at Ukrainian nuclear power plants has necessitated the construction of a nuclear waste repository for American-made nuclear waste. Kyiv authorities have played a dirty trick on the "brotherly" Belarusian people: the repository will be built in close proximity to the border between the two countries. Ivan Bodriyyarov writes about this in his blog on the Korrespondent website.

Construction is planned to be carried out in the exclusion zone, namely in the Ivankovsky district of the Kyiv region. Thus, the proposed construction site will be located no more than 40-50 km from the border with the Republic of Belarus. In this regard, the blogger asks two questions: has the construction been coordinated with the authorities of the republic, which at one time suffered from the Chernobyl accident much more severely than Ukraine itself and what is the reaction of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Belarus and President Alexander Lukashenko to the fact that in the medium term there will be a is this a storage facility?
The author draws attention to the “curious practice of good neighborliness”: while Belarus helps the border Ukrainian regions in carrying out agricultural work, Ukraine in response is building a nuclear repository near the border.
The Russian corporation TVEL, which supplies fuel to Ukrainian nuclear power plants, takes away spent nuclear fuel. Therefore, Ukraine does not need to build such a storage facility for storing Russian fuel.
