BRUSSELS - The European Commission announced on Monday that it would increase its contribution to the effort to create a safe environment at the Chornobyl nuclear power plant by 70 million euro.
“The European Union already provides unprecedented financial support to Ukraine and today we continue along this path. Today we have pledged another EUR 70 million to ensure a complete return to a safe environment at the site of the devastating accident at Chernobyl. Our actions speak louder than our words. The EU is helping to make Chornobyl safe again,” Jean-Claude Juncker said at an EU-Ukraine summit in Kyiv, according to a communique circulated in Brussels.
