00:04:55technology, thousands of jobs and new growth
00:04:59points. Today the Belarusian Nuclear Power Plant generates about
00:05:0240% of all electricity in the country. With the launch
00:05:05of the reactors, we have reduced our dependence on imported gas, saved
00:05:09billions in foreign currency and laid the foundations.
00:05:16How has Belarus's energy balance changed, what is happening with
00:05:19tariffs for spent fuel, are we planning
00:05:22the construction of a second nuclear power plant? We will discuss this with
00:05:26experts right
00:05:27now.
00:05:36Today in our studio are experts who are well-versed in
00:05:39nuclear energy issues.
00:05:42The Minister of Energy, Stanislav Levitsky,
00:05:46director of the country office of Rosatom State Corporation in
00:05:49Belarus, Boris Paramonov, Deputy
00:05:52General Director of the Belarusian Nuclear Power Plant.
00:05:56Dear guests, we are glad to see you in the Economic Environment studio.
00:06:00Today we are discussing nuclear energy, and preparing for
00:06:03the broadcast, I found out that in the world about 30
00:06:07countries are developing nuclear energy, and
00:06:10Belarus, I proudly say this,
00:06:20Well, look, you correctly pointed out that today even more than 30
00:06:23countries are developing nuclear energy, operating nuclear energy.
00:06:27It is very important to note that another 15
00:06:30countries are building new nuclear
00:06:33power plants today. Among these 15 countries there are countries
00:06:37that have not operated a nuclear power plant until now, they are just
00:06:40entering this nuclear club. Here we can name Uzbekistan, we can name
00:06:44Kazakhstan, we can name the same Egypt, and other
00:06:47countries, and the point is that we need to think, why are
00:06:51countries entering this nuclear club? We, as a
00:06:54country that already operates a nuclear power plant, can
00:06:58clearly understand what effects the operation of nuclear
00:07:01power plants has on the economy of our country, what, first of all,
00:07:05of course, it is in the field of energy. The fact is that a nuclear power plant is an absolutely
00:07:09reliable and environmentally friendly source of energy, which,
00:07:12for example, today provides 40%
00:07:16of all electricity consumed in our country. In addition, the construction of a nuclear power plant
00:07:19means new technologies, new
00:07:23jobs, and most importantly - it is the global
00:07:26transformation of the regions where the nuclear
00:07:29power plant is being built. A very striking example is our city of Ostrovets.
00:07:33Ostrovets in 2010
00:07:36and Ostrovets in 2026 are completely two different cities. If in
00:07:392010 about 8
00:08:12a reliable source of green energy, I would still
00:08:15look in a slightly different direction, towards the systemic global
00:08:19development of Belarus, towards the systemic global development of society. Rosatom
00:08:22acts not only as a vendor and not so much as a vendor and a seller
00:08:26of some solutions, we bring the possibility
00:08:29of technological development, of advanced development. What
00:08:33does nuclear energy provide now? It's not just energy, it's new jobs,
00:08:36it's new technologies, including breakthrough ones. We won't dwell
00:08:40solely on the topic of energy. Nuclear
00:08:43energy is a kind of trunk, but from it there are already a mass of branches that are already
00:08:47branching out and developing in the republic, which have brought complementary
00:08:50nuclear energy technologies that were ultimately born
00:08:53in the nuclear industry of the Soviet Union, the Russian Federation, and now
00:08:57are bearing fruit for the republic. By the way, we can talk about a direct economic effect. You
00:09:01know how we, Rosatom, differ from many of our foreign
00:09:05competitors: we go into very deep localization.
00:09:09We have a methodology that proves with numbers that every
00:09:12dollar spent on the construction of a plant, the economy, depending
00:09:16on the degree of localization, in the Republic of Belarus it was
00:09:19extremely deep, there was, I believe, up to 40%
00:09:22done in the Republic of Belarus by Belarusian organizations and by the hands
00:09:26of Belarusians, for every dollar, the economy brings in from
00:09:291.8 to 2.2 dollars.
00:09:32Boris Petrovich, what do you think? First of all, I want to emphasize
00:09:36that it is green energy, what does green mean?
00:09:39That is, green, of course, there is also wind energy, yes.
00:09:42Solar energy, but a nuclear power plant has a number of advantages
00:09:46over these sources, because it is a safe, reliable,
00:09:50uninterrupted source that operates at base nominal
00:09:53capacity, it does not depend, so to speak, on the wind that blows today,
00:09:57and is gone tomorrow, it does not depend on the energy of the sun, which is gone
00:09:59tomorrow, and if you look at the overall
00:10:03ecological effect, then yes, due to saving natural
00:10:07gas for our economy, the plant reduces greenhouse gas
00:10:10emissions by about 7 million tons per... that is, there is also an effect in
00:10:14ecology, yes, this is very important, but agree, we
00:10:18are talking about social effects, economic
00:10:21effects, about technologies, about
00:10:24ecology, about trust in peaceful atom, but
00:10:27the strategic scale of these changes, the key results
00:10:30of the project were noted by our president. Pay attention to the screen. 5
00:10:34years ago, solemnly launching the first
00:10:38Belarusian nuclear power plant in
00:10:41Ostrovets, the country entered a new
00:10:44era. The construction of the NPP
00:10:48not only strengthened our energy
00:10:51security, but also determined the further development
00:10:55of Belarus as a high-tech
00:10:57state. If you will, the presence of its own nuclear
00:11:01power plant in the country is, in a certain sense,
00:11:04a way to ensure sovereignty and
00:11:08independence. During all the time of its operation, the plant
00:11:11generated more than 53 billion
00:11:15kilowatt-hours of electricity, which allowed
00:11:18us to completely abandon electricity
00:11:22imports. It also managed to reduce.
00:12:25The industrial operation of the nuclear power plant began in
00:12:282021. It was precisely in June 2021 that the act
00:12:32of commissioning the first power unit was signed. From that period, we
00:12:35consider that the nuclear power plant is fully operational in our
00:12:39country. During this time, the share of electrical energy
00:12:43generated at the power plant has gradually grown. This year,
00:12:46in the previous year, 40%
00:12:50of all electricity consumed in our country was generated at the
00:12:53nuclear power plant. The share within the existing nuclear
00:12:56power plant cannot increase further, because we operate at
00:13:00nominal capacity throughout the year. We
00:13:03operate as the so-called base in
00:13:06the Belarusian energy system, that is, after being loaded
00:13:09after planned preventive maintenance, we operate at
00:13:13nominal load until the next planned preventive maintenance. Therefore,
00:13:16structurally, the balance of electrical energy here will not
00:13:20conceptually change. What provoked the appearance of such...
00:13:25a Belarusian nuclear power plant, such a source of energy, it provoked
00:13:28a rapid growth in electricity consumption. Over the past 5 years, our
00:13:32electricity consumption has significantly increased. In
00:13:352024-25, we set a record
00:13:39for electricity consumption for the entire period of our country's independence,
00:13:43more than 43 billion kilowatt-hours. This year,
00:13:46we are growing by approximately 3% compared to
00:13:502025, and I am absolutely convinced that this year we will definitely
00:13:54add to... energy, of course,
00:13:56needs to be satisfied, but the following situation arises:
00:14:04when there is an energy source, there is a consumer who is interested in
00:14:08this energy, but networks are needed to transmit this electricity
00:14:12from the source to the consumer. So,
00:14:15the electrical networks through which the transportation of electricity
00:14:18takes place, they have quite
00:14:22a long period of operation and, of course, in those periods
00:14:26when they were designed and built, and the lion's share of them was built during the time of the
00:14:30Soviet Union, there were no even thoughts that
00:14:33electrical energy could be consumed for such needs. Well, I'll just
00:14:37say for reference that, for example, the use of electrical energy for heating
00:14:40and hot water supply, today we are all used to this, we hear
00:14:44about it, more than
00:14:46175 thousand households in our country today
00:14:50use electrical energy for heating and hot water supply. So, until
00:14:542000. Nineteenth year, until the period when we were preparing for
00:14:57the launch of the Belarusian nuclear power plant, the use
00:15:00of electrical energy for these needs in our country was generally prohibited, that is,
00:15:04it was not possible to use electrical energy for these needs. The appearance of the nuclear power plant
00:15:08created prerequisites for its use. Today
00:15:11- for these needs in our country, about
00:15:141,200 million kilowatt-hours per year are spent.
00:15:18Out of 43 billion in total across the country, 1
00:15:21billion 200 million is only what the population spends on heating needs.
00:16:18networks in 5 years, for the period 26-30, for this
00:16:22five-year plan, we set ourselves the task of 18,500 km
00:16:25of electrical networks, that is, an increase of almost one and a half times. This is
00:16:29the contribution we are making in order to now provide reliable and efficient
00:16:32transmission of the electricity source that we have acquired.
00:16:36the use of distributed
00:16:57grid storage systems, which
00:17:01allow you to reduce capital costs for modernization, ensure
00:17:04uninterrupted operation. Today
00:17:07a revolution is taking place in the energy sector in terms
00:17:10of the application of storage systems, namely industrial
00:17:14systems, for solving production tasks for
00:17:16energy engineers, and today the State Corporation, having built two
00:17:20powerful factories for the production
00:17:22of storage systems, we are working with them on the possibility
00:17:26of using storage devices to solve and untangle this knot, but
00:17:30in what part are storage devices used, are they placed with the consumer, are they
00:17:34placed in the middle of this chain? Absolutely correct
00:17:37question. Let's then move a little to the physics of the process, but in simple
00:17:40terms. Absolutely true, you don't need to make
00:17:43a thicker cable, relatively speaking, you install a storage device that
00:17:46at night, when industrial enterprises are mostly sleeping, it accumulates
00:17:50energy, and during the day it gives it to the consumer. It needs to be placed at the
00:17:54point where it is beneficial for both energy companies and the consumer. There is a special mathematical
00:17:57model that calculates, relatively speaking, somewhere near the substation
00:18:01it is needed, and somewhere near the consumer, on the contrary, a storage system should be installed, but
00:18:05thanks to the fact that you save on...
00:18:37our software, our technical solutions, and this is
00:18:40a joint project that can be tested in the Republic
00:18:44of Belarus, and most importantly, it has huge export
00:18:48potential to third countries. Boris Petrovich, well, since we are talking
00:18:51about redundancy, yes, about
00:18:54how to balance our
00:18:57energy system, well, correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me
00:19:00that the reliability of the energy system largely depends
00:19:04on the balance of reserves, yes. Please tell me, well...
00:20:38Stanislav Grigoryevich, well, we are talking about our Belarusian nuclear
00:20:41power plant, but let's be frank, let's call a spade a spade, in
00:20:45essence it is a flagship project
00:20:48of the Union State.
00:21:00Rosatom and the Ministry of Energy, some of which have already
00:21:03been noted here, but looking ahead, dear
00:21:06experts, tell me honestly, is a third power unit
00:21:09of the Belarusian nuclear power plant planned, or
00:21:13the construction of a second nuclear power plant? Let's divide
00:21:16the question, because a lot can be said about both.
00:21:20Alexander Grigoryevich, whose speech we
00:21:23heard, once said wonderful words, when, if I'm not mistaken,
00:21:27the second unit was just being commissioned, he said: I don't want to let
00:21:30you go, to Alexey Evgenyevich Likhachev, Alexey Evgenyevich left
00:21:34the event, gave instructions, and as a result, we created
00:21:37a strategic document, a comprehensive program of Russian-Belarusian
00:21:41cooperation in the field of nuclear energy and non-nuclear
00:21:45projects. What is it, in essence, right? Because the name is beautiful,
00:21:48loud, it's...
00:21:50a tool for developing potential partnership projects
00:21:54and directions. There were more than 10 of them, and
00:21:57more than forty projects are being implemented and developed.
00:22:01Let's name the most promising in which areas, why
00:22:04promising, we can already name the actually implemented ones, right, these two
00:22:08truly beautiful, bright projects, these are additive
00:22:11technologies center, this is a center that, in essence,
00:22:15implemented a full-fledged technological transfer to the Republic
00:22:18of Belarus of all, absolutely, additive technology conversions. Now
00:22:22here not only printing services are provided, now here also
00:22:253D printers are assembled for metal printing, and this is a
00:22:28technology that globally, at the level
00:22:31currently held by Belarus, is possessed by literally fewer than five
00:22:35countries. Energy projects and simulator manufacturing, well, each
00:22:38nuclear power plant, in its basic configuration, includes a special
00:22:41simulator, like in aviation, so to speak, absolutely true, and I would even say
00:22:45more complex than aviation, the only thing, thank God, there are no manipulators that
00:22:48pull, although maybe...
00:24:20it was precisely then that all countries were rolling back their nuclear programs. Today, at
00:24:23the beginning of our broadcast, we discussed that today the vector has shifted in another
00:24:27direction. Those who were rolling back nuclear programs have fallen behind, more than
00:24:3115 years behind. Today they will have to catch up with us, and we
00:24:34are at this point, today we operate the Belarusian nuclear
00:24:37power plant. You showed a fragment of the President's speech, precisely
00:24:41the meeting on November 14th. I was present at that meeting, where
00:24:44the question was discussed, what will happen next with energy in the Republic of Belarus?
00:24:48We noted that we have effects
00:25:02in the economy from the nuclear power plant, we need to continue
00:25:05developing this direction, and a fundamental decision was made,
00:25:09these decisions are essentially two: first,
00:25:12we need to develop the Belarusian nuclear power plant and
00:25:15implement a third power unit there, a complete copy of what
00:25:18is implemented today as the first and second power units, and in parallel
00:25:22begin to work on the issue of
00:25:24constructing a nuclear power plant.
00:25:27Approximately or tentatively, the discussion is about a site in
00:25:31Mogilev region. This is not yet firmly fixed, because there is a corresponding
00:25:34procedure for selecting this site, but we understand that based on geological
00:25:38grounds, we will most likely be doing something in this area.
00:25:42Some may ask
00:25:45why we are pursuing both solutions in parallel.
00:25:49The fact is that they are very far apart in time. If we
00:25:53implement the project as a third power unit at the Belarusian nuclear
00:25:56power plant, these are clear conditions, clear requirements. I repeat
00:25:59that this is a copy of those units that were implemented
00:26:03within the framework of the construction of the Belarusian nuclear power plant, and the implementation times
00:26:06are quite clear and short. In the case that we are talking about
00:26:10a second nuclear power plant, this is a new project, a new
00:26:13site, new selection
00:26:15of this site, and so on, and this extends beyond
00:26:182040. But the decision on this
00:26:22construction needs to be made now and this work needs to be done, because
00:26:25energy is not an industry that lives by reacting
00:26:29to today's problems. Energy is an industry that
00:26:33reacts to problems that will arise in 10-15
00:26:37years. Our current energy system, its
00:26:39configuration is capable of withstanding the development of the Belarusian economy
00:26:43at the pace it is developing, beyond
00:26:462040. But in order to ensure the next stage
00:26:50of development, by the 2040s, we need to
00:26:53have a new structure for Belarusian generation. Do I understand correctly that
00:26:56here the question is not whether a third
00:26:59power unit or a second nuclear power plant.
00:27:10The decision and instruction that Alexander
00:27:14Grigoryevich formulated sounded exactly like that: that it is necessary to implement the third unit in
00:27:17Ostrovets and to work on the issue of building nuclear
00:27:21power plant number two. To work on the issue means that we need
00:27:25to determine the configuration of this nuclear power plant, not the question
00:27:29of whether it is needed or not, the question of configuration, what power.
00:27:40several alternative options on the table, so that the decision-maker
00:27:44can weigh
00:27:47all circumstances. We'll take a short commercial break, after which
00:27:51we will find out what happens to spent nuclear fuel and why
00:27:54planned shutdowns of BelAES power units are not an accident, but a safety
00:27:58measure. Don't
00:27:59switch.
00:28:18residents and guests of the capital how they feel about the development of peaceful atom in
00:28:22our country and what results they note. Let's
00:28:25watch.
00:28:28How do you feel about the fact that nuclear energy is generally being developed now?
00:28:32New technologies, a lot of electric, we
00:28:35now have gadgets, everything, that is, in principle, it's generally
00:28:39super. I am a citizen of Russia, we have been living here for
00:28:4215 years, we are very satisfied with everything, and I want to say
00:28:45that if you take into account the tariffs here in Belarus and
00:28:49in Russia, it's certainly more profitable to live here. Well, are there any results
00:28:53from this, that is, I don't know, electricity tariffs have become
00:28:56lower, I haven't noticed any difference in money or anything, yes, the tariff there
00:29:00is lower, but... I think everything is fine, tariffs
00:29:04are lower, yes, gas supply, well, it also
00:29:06gets more expensive, but overall, it seems to me that now everything is
00:29:10based on electricity, generally
00:29:13the smart home itself, everything is on electricity, well, if
00:29:17it's developing, then there is a big plus in this for our country,
00:29:20well, I have a good attitude, because
00:29:23probably still our own electricity,
00:29:26it's still cheaper and the state somehow
00:29:30subsidizes it, I never...
00:31:03I think that it's not a reliable way, because
00:31:07electricity, if you turn it off, then nothing
00:31:10works at all, well, probably
00:31:11not.
00:32:45Naturally, in a highly competitive world,
00:32:47where there are many actors who try to promote their
00:32:51technologies and get a bonus for their economies, there is
00:32:55certain competition, some, well, not entirely possibly conscientious
00:32:58use different methods of information and communication
00:33:01strategies that try to instill
00:33:05some negative patterns in people's souls, we should treat this calmly, we at least
00:33:09can certainly say that in the Republic of Belarus
00:33:13those solutions are used that were implemented according to the requirements for ensuring
00:33:27the safety of absolutely any experts, and we guarantee that
00:33:31safe operation will continue, well, how long did we promise, 60 years,
00:33:35with an extension to 100, Denis Ravilievich, well, I can't help but
00:33:38ask you about tariffs again, because we heard that many people are concerned about
00:33:42tariffs, which is natural.
00:33:45So, if we aggregate, look at it systemically, please tell me,
00:33:48what influence does nuclear energy in our country
00:33:52have on tariffs for the population and the real sector, first
00:33:55of all, industrial enterprises? As for tariffs, the question is, of course,
00:33:59not simple and not on the surface.
00:34:01You heard what people said, and you
00:34:05saw that there is, well, such a slightly different opinion, yes, some say that electricity
00:34:09is very cheap, some say no, it's probably expensive, right, and the difference
00:34:12is small, what is this related to? The fact is that when
00:34:15atomic energy generation appeared in our
00:34:19country, we followed the following path: we did not raise, change,
00:34:22or lower the cost of electricity for traditional
00:34:26sectors, but for those new sectors that appeared,
00:34:30which did not exist before, which needed to be stimulated in terms of their further
00:34:33development, we there formed so-called preferential
00:34:37tariffs or reduced tariffs for the use of electrical energy. The most striking
00:34:40example, understandable to the layman, is the use of electrical energy
00:34:44for heating. water supply, that is, if you use this
00:34:47electricity for these purposes, then you have two possibilities of getting
00:34:51tariffs, very small ones, something around 5 kopecks and around 12 kopecks,
00:34:54if you have one meter for everything necessary, while it's
00:34:58more than 26 kopecks per 1 kilowatt-hour
00:35:02if you do not use electricity for these needs. Similar approaches are used in
00:35:05industry. We have preferential tariffs for energy-intensive
00:35:09enterprises, that is, if an enterprise consumes a large amount of electrical energy,
00:35:13more than 15 million kilowatt-hours,
00:35:45could afford to have electric vehicles, which today we have in the country, well,
00:35:48today on the roads of the country, more than
00:35:5165,000 cars run with
00:35:55electric drive. At the beginning of this year, there were
00:35:5850,000 cars, we are
00:36:00growing at a fairly serious pace, we are setting ourselves the
00:36:04fundamental task of reaching about 300,000 cars by
00:36:082030, this will create another
00:36:11sector of electricity consumption and most importantly, it is...
00:36:15a multiplicative effect again - the environmental load is significantly
00:36:18reduced, because electric vehicles have no emissions, no
00:36:22oils, no maintenance, and so on. And besides, it is a
00:36:26reduction of necessary oil imports
00:36:30for obtaining the same fuel for the engine.
00:36:33Stanislav Grigoryevich, well, when we communicate with people, of course, we also
00:36:37felt that people were concerned about safety issues, but safety
00:36:41issues also include those
00:36:44products, that fuel, which is used in a nuclear
00:36:47power plant. In a nutshell, people are concerned about the fate
00:36:51of nuclear waste from our Belarus. Please tell me, we
00:36:55talked about Rosatom's high technologies, right?
00:36:58Are closed-cycle technologies generally applicable
00:37:01in this industry, and does
00:37:05Rosatom have enough competencies to solve such
00:37:08problems? First, nuclear
00:37:12power always produces waste, that's clear.
00:37:16All countries operating nuclear power plants face this
00:37:19problem, and they apply some solutions.
00:37:22This includes waste storage and long-term disposal.
00:37:26This also includes processing. Rosatom, and you
00:37:30rightly pointed this out, has gone, and it is probably the only
00:37:33company in the world that is implementing
00:37:37within the "Breakthrough" project the concept of a closed nuclear fuel
00:37:40cycle, where spent nuclear fuel, from
00:37:44which highly toxic radioactive waste is separated, is
00:37:47re-burned within a special cycle, and uranium is regenerated and
00:37:51returned to the fuel cycle. Not only does this greatly
00:37:54compact the waste and remove the most to...
00:40:57we started talking about our opponents, about these information
00:41:01attacks, and so on. We know that planned shutdowns
00:41:04of power units at our nuclear power plants are constantly being presented
00:41:08by destructive forces as accidents, they escalate
00:41:11the situation in various ways. Let's clarify
00:41:15why planned,
00:41:17regulated reactor maintenance is essentially
00:41:21a guarantee of safety, and not a reason for panic. Well,
00:41:25in fact, as a plant worker, I...
00:41:42The fuel cycle at the plant is 12 months, meaning that every
00:41:4612 months we must remove
00:41:49part of the spent fuel from the reactor
00:41:52and replace it with new, fresh nuclear fuel. This is approximately
00:41:56a quarter of all fuel, about
00:41:5942 fuel assemblies.
00:42:03Furthermore, from an economic point of view, in order not to stop
00:42:06the power unit again for some technical work, during
00:42:10this period, scheduled preventive maintenance is carried out. This
00:42:14means that all plant equipment involved in operation
00:42:18undergoes technical maintenance, repair,
00:42:21and diagnostics precisely so that the next 12-month
00:42:25fuel cycle runs in normal mode without
00:42:28any violations. All repairs are carried out by
00:42:31specialized Russian and Belarusian
00:42:34organizations. That is, it can be compared, in principle, on a household
00:42:38level, let's go back to the same
00:42:55that our people can be reassured that they do not need to
00:42:58listen, they do not need to read, do not read enemy
00:43:02newspapers at dinner, you need to trust reliable
00:43:05mass media and then your mental
00:43:08system will be... in order
00:43:11and you will read the truth about what is happening in the world. Dear
00:43:14experts, summarizing our conversation, how do you
00:43:18see the nuclear power industry of our country in the future? Denis
00:43:21Ravikovich, well, given that this is a summary, yes, I would say
00:43:24that nuclear power in our country is a safe
00:43:28and reliable system that meets the needs of
00:43:31the economy. Stanislav Grigoryevich, we are
00:43:34building nuclear industries abroad
00:43:37together. Boris Petrovich. Well, since our
00:43:40nuclear power plant is still young, the average age of an employee is 39 years old, so I see,
00:44:17Our specialists receive education at the university.
00:44:21Our educational institution is called the University of Civil
00:44:23Protection. This is a departmental educational
00:44:26institution. It has quite extensive experience in training
00:44:30specialists, quite good traditions
00:44:33of training specifically practical specialists who
00:44:37are ready, after receiving an education,
00:44:40to perform tasks, practical tasks for
00:44:43preventing and eliminating emergencies. Our educational
00:44:46institution trains specialists in key
00:44:49specialties: prevention and elimination of emergencies,
00:44:53as well as fire and industrial safety. These
00:44:56areas are indeed quite
00:44:59practice-oriented, so we have a whole system for training personnel, which
00:45:02recently celebrated its
00:45:05ninetieth anniversary. We have a number of methods and...
00:45:40truly in conditions close to reality. We
00:45:43have a very good training ground
00:45:47where we can simulate a whole range of emergency situations
00:45:50of various types. And this training ground is also
00:45:53used in training, starting from
00:45:57the first courses of cadet training
00:46:00throughout the entire training program.
00:46:04And indeed, this, probably,
00:46:07requires such qualities of character as -
00:46:52has its own track, that is, its own issues for cooperation,
00:46:55its own specifics. Somewhere it's an
00:46:59exchange of cadets, somewhere we exchange
00:47:03experience based on the results of scientific research, somewhere
00:47:06we help with organizing specialist training.
00:47:10These can be short-term training programs, it can be classical
00:47:14education over four years
00:47:17in the field of higher education. And so,
00:47:20quite active cooperation is underway.
00:48:53elite, which is currently in power in the European Union,
00:48:56will come to its senses and begin to reformat itself. They have
00:48:59one rhetoric: to pump
00:49:02Ukraine with weapons so that it resists and fights Russia as
00:49:06long as possible. We have strong and powerful
00:49:09allies: the Russian Federation and China. We must not
00:49:13forget that besides these 50 Western
00:49:16countries, from which I personally suggest
00:49:19isolating ourselves, there are 150 other countries. The entire
00:49:22planet is open. Belarus is creating a peace coalition
00:49:26that should ensure stability in our region and
00:49:29use all available resources of sound forces
00:49:33of the world. Project objectively. Don't miss new
00:49:37episodes on Belarus 24 TV channel.
00:51:25You are watching the news. I, Elizaveta Lakotko, will tell you about the developments in this
00:51:29issue.
