Lukashenko claims triumph over Chernobyl power plant disaster aftermath: nuclear disaster received targeted attention

On April 29, President Alexander Lukashenko of Belarus made a statement during a meeting with residents of the Chechersky district, expressing his gratitude for the resilience shown by the nation, particularly the youth, in the aftermath of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.

Lukashenko emphasised that while Belarus has not defeated Chernobyl, they have managed the task at hand remarkably well. He highlighted the significant success the country has achieved in overcoming the aftermath of the disaster.

The President expressed his conviction that almost all residents understand they did the right thing at the time. He also noted that the older generation can tell how it was before and compare it with the present, offering a unique perspective on the progress made.

During the meeting, Lukashenko thanked the youth for staying in Belarus following the disaster, demonstrating their commitment to their homeland. He also declared that the future depends on the youth, ensuring they will be the genuine heirs of what the older generation has created.

However, the President did not repeat his earlier statements about the main achievement being that they live on their own land or about the significant success in overcoming the aftermath of the disaster being the main achievement.

It can be seen what has been done in the aftermath of the disaster, but the available search results do not provide information on the name of a specific research project or organisation responsible for the removal and processing of radioactively contaminated materials in Belarus in recent years.

The statement was reported by BELTA correspondent. Lukashenko's words serve as a testament to the resilience and determination of the Belarusian people in the face of adversity, and a reminder of the progress made since the Chernobyl disaster. The President's focus on the youth and their role in shaping the future of Belarus underscores the importance of continued investment in the next generation.
