Russia Strikes Ukraine’s Nuclear Sites 155 Times – Kyiv Launches €500M Solar Push & Chernobyl Repairs

**Russia Strikes Ukraine’s Nuclear Sites 155 Times – Kyiv Launches €500M Solar Push & Chernobyl Repairs** Ukraine is shifting to solar power and launching a €500 million fund to repair the Chernobyl shelter after Russian forces struck the country’s nuclear-linked energy infrastructure 155 times, officials confirmed. The attacks, which target power plants and radioactive sites, have driven communities to install small solar panels on homes, schools, and hospitals as a safer, decentralized energy source that is harder for missiles to destroy [134915][134026][133727]. The protective arch over the Chernobyl reactor—damaged by a Russian drone strike in February 2024—now requires urgent restoration. Authorities opened the fund to collect international donations after the breach weakened the structure, though no radiation leak occurred [133730][133727]. Meanwhile, Ukraine continues to take the fight to Russian forces. A commander with Ukraine’s State Border Guard Service confirmed that FP-2 mid-range drones struck trains, communication towers, and supply depots across occupied Donetsk, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhia regions between 23 and 25 April [134577]. New Ukrainian drones with a 200-kilometer range are overwhelming Russian air defenses and hitting deep supply lines [134284]. Ukrainian forces also struck three Russian warships in Sevastopol and a major refinery in Yaroslavl overnight [133727]. On the ground, Russia launched 94 drones over Ukraine in one night, with 74 shot down. The remaining 20 hit 15 locations, striking a hotel, a funicular, the port, and three residential districts in Odesa, injuring 14 civilians [134290][134037].
