International donors have announced the allocation of €303m ($336m) for the restoration of the New Safe Confinement (NSC) at Ukraine’s Chornobyl nuclear power station, which was damaged by a Russian drone in February 2025.
Fourteen countries and international organisations made financial commitments during a conference in Paris on 9 November 2026 hosted by France, Ukraine and the EBRD.
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) announced the results of the conference on 10 November.
