Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausėda urges the State Defense Council to discuss how to rescue Lithuania from the radiation threat. A concentration was held in the presidency during the government election.
Activists from the anti-Astral movement met again in the Presidency. The assembled people demanded that President Gitan Nausėda boycott the Astravas nuclear power plant and unconditionally prevent the use of the Kruonis hydroaccumulation plant to meet the needs of this plant.
“Even President Nausėda has been given the formula that we will not accept the use of Kruonis for Astrava’s needs unless there is danger. Unless it is like Gorbachev’s time. He said he would not use the army against the Lithuanians unless people’s lives were in danger. It is very easy for them to do that danger, “says former president of Seimas Vytautas Landsbergis.

The protesters do not trust advisers to the President and the Minister of Energy Žygimantas Vaičiūnas, who allegedly made concessions to Latvia, which wants electricity from Astravas. With cries of dissatisfaction with Gitan Nauseda next to the Presidential Palace, the President himself suddenly appeared:
“It just came to our attention then. We want you to be on our team. Let’s play on a Lithuanian team.”
The head of state says he has secured the European Commission’s understanding and Poland’s support for the danger from the Astrava power plant and announces that Russian President Vladimir Putin himself will appear at his opening in Belarus. The opening of the power plant and Putin’s visit to Belarus will coincide with the culmination of the neighboring country’s presidential election campaign, scheduled for August 9.
“As far as I know, the head of this state is coming to the opening, which is probably saying a lot,” says President Gitanas Nausėda.
“If they have a surplus that they have nowhere to put, they will say, give it to Kruonis or we will exploit.” What about that blackmail? ”Says V. Landsbergis.
“It just came to our attention then. I think they are not thoughtless people. Risking the security of their state. Blackmailing another state to explode,” said G. Nausėda.
“It just came to our attention then. This is the Kremlin, not Minsk,” says V. Landsbergis.
After arguing, the two embrace and Nausėda tries to assure him that he is fighting for the best result for Lithuania in the fight for the Astravas boycott: “Professor, hug us, we will continue to work.”
The concentration in the Presidency was not without incident. The police had to appease the Kremlin’s propaganda provocateurs. Even some members of the Seimas had to reassure the protesters.
“A person is a conscious volunteer, we know him, he is an active participant on January 13, a volunteer. Fixing a camera to a person who does not want to communicate or provoke is not allowed, “says Seimas member Arvydas Anušauskas.
The head of the Russian company Rosatom, which is building it, confirms that the Belarusian authorities’ prophecy to start the Astrava power plant in early August is being fulfilled in three weeks.
“Among the most important news in our construction abroad, I will note the serious work in Belarus, where we are working to obtain a permit for a physical start-up. We expect it to take place in the first days of August,” says Alexei Lichachov, Rosatom CEO.
The physical commissioning of a nuclear power plant means that nuclear reactions will already take place there, but the reactor is not yet fully operational.
“It just came to our attention then. He will not be at full capacity, he will watch how to succeed. How to control everything, a new object. He sees if there is a problem, probably without the end of the year, there is nothing to expect the full power to plug into the system and start full power, “said energy expert Vidmantas Jankauskas.
When it became clear that the Astrava nuclear power plant, located just 50 kilometers from Vilnius, could be launched in three weeks, the President urgently called the State Defense Council. Heads of state are considering how Lithuania will have to implement population protection plans in the event of a radiation hazard.
