Norway is allocating NOK 100 million ($10.6 million) to repair the protective structure covering Reactor No. 4 at the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant.
The Norwegian Embassy in Ukraine announced this on its Facebook page, Ukrinform reports.
The embassy recalled that the structure was damaged in a Russian drone strike in February 2025.
State Secretary at the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Eivind Vad Petersson visited Kyiv, where he announced Norway's support for nuclear safety following a Russian drone strike on a building at the spent nuclear fuel storage facility in the Chornobyl exclusion zone on Sunday, June 7. No increase in radiation levels was reported after the incident.
"The drone attack over the weekend is a serious reminder of the importance of nuclear safety in Ukraine. Russia's war of aggression is harming not only Ukraine's people and critical infrastructure. These attacks also pose a threat to European and international security. Norway will make efforts to reduce the risk of radioactive releases and ensure that the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant continues to operate safely," Petersson said.
