“Yesterday we sat over a cup of coffee for a long time before we were invited into the room, but this surprise was waiting for the leaders who were already in the room,” said G. Nausėda on Saturday.
The president says he hasn’t had a chance to interact with the country’s leaders later, but has seen reactions from those sitting next to him and says the gift has been seen and appreciated.
“Certainly all the leaders have found it and if someone hasn’t had a chance to see it yet, they will definitely see it,” said G. Nausėda.
According to him, this gift is associated not only with the anniversary of the disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, but also as a reminder of how disregard for safety at a nuclear power plant can end.
“We want to remind you that Astrava is here, I couldn’t say that Astrava is much safer than Chernobyl in the current situation; I don’t want to scare anything, but the construction culture, the operation culture is low enough and not seeing this would be a crime, ”he said.
