G7 Pledges €260 Million for Chornobyl Nuclear Plant Repairs
What happened
The Group of Seven (G7), which includes Italy, announced a pledge of €260 million to fund urgent repairs to the New Safe Confinement at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant in Ukraine. This commitment follows a Russian drone strike in February 2025 that severely damaged the structure. The announcement was made at the International Monetary Fund and World Bank Group Autumn Meetings in Bangkok.
