Germany to provide EUR 50M for restoration of Chornobyl confinement structure
The German government will provide EUR 50 million to restore the New Safe Confinement (NSC) at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant, which was damaged by a Russian drone.
Germany has pledged EUR 50 million to aid in the restoration of the damaged confinement structure at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant, according to Ukraine's Energy Minister Denys Shmyhal. This commitment was made during a meeting between Shmyhal and a German delegation led by Federal Minister for the Environment, who inspected the NSC arch and infrastructure, as well as a new solar power plant at the plant.
The chornobyl disaster, caused in part by a Russian drone strike in February 2025, is a critical concern for nuclear safety in Ukraine and across Europe. The restoration of the structure is estimated to cost around EUR 500 million, with other nations like the European Commission, the United States, and Norway also expressing their willingness to contribute financially.
