Likhachev described Belarus as the main beneficiary in nuclear energy, according to reports from the state news agency TASS and the business outlet RBC on 5 October. RBC said Belarus had become the main beneficiary of the last 15 years of development in atomic energy. [ 1 , 2 ]
The documents give no further substance: TASS published only a headline with no article text, and RBC's report consisted of a single sentence. Neither states where or when the statement was made, what position Likhachev holds, or what figures or projects underlie the assessment. [ 1 , 2 ]
Why it matters
The remark, carried by a state agency and a business outlet, frames Belarus as a notable gainer from nuclear energy work in which Russian entities are involved, which may be read as a signal about continued energy cooperation. The documents provide no numbers or policy decisions, so any wider significance is not established by them.

Confirmed by several sources
Still unclear
- What role or position Likhachev holds and which organisation he speaks for. The documents name Likhachev without giving a title or affiliation, and no other document supplies it.
- Where and when the statement was made and on what occasion. Neither the TASS headline nor the RBC summary states the venue, date or context of the remark.
- What measure makes Belarus the “main beneficiary”, and over what period or in what projects. Only RBC refers to a 15-year period, and no document gives figures, comparisons or named projects.
- Whether the statement was reported elsewhere or confirmed by any other party. Only two documents are available, one with a headline and no article text.
