G7 Pledges €260M to Repair Chornobyl Nuclear Confinement

The G7 has agreed to allocate $283 million toward repairing the New Safe Confinement at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant, Ukrainian Energy Minister Denys Shmyhal announced. The funding covers roughly half of the estimated €500 million required to repair damage caused by a Russian drone strike on Feb. 14, 2025, which punctured the arch’s roof and compromised ventilation seals.
