500 million euros. This is the minimum cost of repairing the damage caused by the Russians in Chernobyl.

The New Safety Shelter at Chernobyl aims to prevent radioactive substances from entering the environment and facilitate safe reactor work. The EBRD calls for international funding for necessary repairs, emphasizing global nuclear safety. President Odile Renaud-Basso stated that issues in Chernobyl affect everyone, not just Ukraine. Repairs must be completed by 2030 to avoid further deterioration. The G7 has pledged 260 million euros towards the estimated 500 million euro cost. The EBRD plans to start renovations by 2028, with work expected to last two years. Although damage resulted from a Russian drone attack, the EBRD does not anticipate Russian funding for the repairs, but future costs may be included in potential reparations.
