Fifteen donors have confirmed €278 million in commitments to repair the protective arch at Ukraine’s Chornobyl nuclear power plant. France’s minister for European affairs, Benjamin Haddad, announced the total at the close of the Paris donor conference on November 9, according to AFP and Ukrinform. The figure is the total confirmed by the close of the meeting. [evidence-1] [evidence-2]
France’s finance minister, Roland Lescure, announced a further €30 million from France, taking its announced contribution to €40 million including €10 million for preliminary studies, Ukrinform reported. The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development estimates the full repair will cost at least €500 million. That leaves a gap of at least €222 million against the confirmed commitments.

The arch over the remains of Reactor Four was damaged in a Russian drone strike in February 2025. It helps contain radioactive material and makes it possible to dismantle the older shelter safely. The bank says full functionality needs to be restored by 2030. [evidence-1] [evidence-3]
