Canada has pledged 40 million Canadian dollars — about $28.4 million — toward repairs on the protective structure at the Chornobyl nuclear power plant, Ukrainian Energy Minister Denys Shmyhal announced in a post on X on Tuesday.
The cash is headed to the International Chornobyl Cooperation Account, a fund managed by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. Shmyhal said 14 countries and international organizations have now contributed or pledged a combined €303 million to that account, with the UK and Germany among them.
The target of the repairs is the New Safe Confinement, the massive cover built over the plant's ruined reactor. Shmyhal said the structure was damaged in a Russian drone strike on February 14, 2025.
Canada's commitment adds to a pool that now tops €300 million, as donors line up to shore up the containment shell at the site of the 1986 disaster.
