Despite the war, Ukraine plans to build four nuclear reactors. This project aims to compensate for the loss of the Zaporizhia power plant.

Two of the reactors will be VVERs, of Soviet design, which the Ukrainians want to build with Russian equipment purchased from Bulgaria. The other two reactors would be AP1000s from the American Westinghouse, which was in discussions with kyiv before the war. The financing of these investments, which should amount to tens of billions of euros, remains unclear.
