EBRD Seeks €500M to Repair Chornobyl Drone Damage
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is seeking at least €500 million ($545 million) to repair the New Safe Confinement at the Chornobyl nuclear power plant after a Russian drone strike punctured its protective arch. G7 nations have pledged €260 million ($283 million), with France, Ukraine, and the EBRD set to co-chair a donor conference in Paris on Nov. 9. Officials warned repairs must conclude by 2030 to prevent corrosion around Reactor No. 4.
