Representatives of the Ukrainian delegation in their presentation expressed their gratitude to international partners for their efforts in implementing projects to improve safety at the Chornobyl NPP industrial site and informed the meeting participants about the fulfillment of obligations undertaken by Ukraine. It was specially noted that funds for operation of NSC and ISF-2 facilities are provided in the State Budget of Ukraine starting from 2019.

At the same time, Ukraine expressed concerns about delays in Project works completion at New Safe Confinement from December of this year to April of the next year.
 
Ukraine also expressed concern about delays in ISF-2 Project completion (currently the beginning of the “hot tests” is scheduled for the middle of 2019). The concern is caused, primarily, by the fact that the delay in ISF-2 commissioning requires ISF-1 life time extension.
 
The Assemblies participants assured the Ukrainian side of a fulfillment of their obligations in full, and also expressed support for the steps undertaking by Ukraine on the way to solving this continental problem.
 
The next Assemblies meetings are scheduled for 2019 in Kiev.
