Belarusians of Kyiv to hold a protest action near Russian Embassy today

The protest action is aimed against the support which Russia renders to the project of building an NPP in Astravets. Participants of the action will gather near the Russian Embassy in Kyiv (Pavetraflotski Ave, 27) at 5.30 p.m. under the slogans "Hands Off Belarus!" and "Say "NO" to new victims of nuclear energetics!".

Let us remind you, on February 1 the Russian banks "Vneshekonombank" and "Belvneshekonombank" signed an agreement for provision 10 billion dollars for building a nuclear power plant to the Belarusian government. This credit has been provided for 25 years. The NPP in Astravets, which is to be built in accordance with the Russian project, is planned to be put into practice in 2017.
