The Belgian government has decided to extend the life of the Nuclear Power Plant in the country by ten years due to the war in Ukraine, Report informs, citing Prime Minister Alexander De Croo's Twiter account.

"At the same time, we are accelerating the transition to renewable energy, the best path to our energy independence," he tweeted.
