Ukraine raises full sum for Chernobyl projects.

KIEV, July 28 (Itar-Tass) -- Ukraine has raised the full sum needed
for its Chernobyl projects, the Finance Ministry's press service said.
"Taking into account April's donor conference in Kiev and additional
obligations assumed by France, the United States, Russia, the European
Union, and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, the need
for funding for the Chernobyl project in the amount of 740 million euros
has been met in full," the press service said.
On July 26, the EBRD Board of Governors approved an additional
contribution of 70 million euros to the Chernobyl Shelter Fund and the
Nuclear Safety Account. Prior to that, the Bank had provided 120 million
euros for these purposes.
Ukraine raised 550 million of the needed 740 million euros at the
donor conference in Kiev on April 19, 2011. After the conference a number
of countries agreed to contribute as well.
