International donors pledged €303 million, equivalent to about $338 million, to repair the protective confinement at the Chornobyl nuclear power plant after it was damaged in a drone strike in February 2025. Radio Svoboda reported the commitments on Tuesday, November 10.

The package was announced at a donor conference in Paris held alongside a meeting of G7 foreign ministers. France’s Finance Ministry said 14 countries and organizations had committed support, with major contributions coming from Germany, the United States and the European Union. Individual amounts were not disclosed.

Berlin had indicated that it intended to provide €50 million for the work. Further pledges, including from Greece and the Netherlands, are expected in the coming months, while plant management has put the overall repair bill at roughly €500 million.

Ukraine blames Russia for the attack that damaged the arch above Chornobyl’s fourth reactor unit. The Kremlin rejects the accusation and denies that Russian forces struck nuclear infrastructure. Completed in 2019, the confinement covers the remains of the reactor destroyed in the April 1986 disaster.
