International donors have pledged 303 million euros to repair the containment structure above the destroyed nuclear reactor in Chernobyl, which was hit by a UAV in early 2025, French authorities said.
The funding was announced at an international donor conference in Paris, which took place at the same time as the G7 foreign ministers' meeting.
The French Ministry of Finance reported that 14 countries and organizations have pledged, including significant contributions from Germany, the United States and the European Union. German Environment Minister Carsten Schneider recently said that Berlin intends to allocate 50 million euros for repairs.
The shelter, which is designed to protect against radiation and ensure the safety of the site, needs major repairs after being hit by a UAV.
According to NPP management estimates, the cost of the repairs is about 500 million euros.
