Fedorov's team says drone purchases did not cause funding shortfall for military payments

INTELLIGENCE SUMMARY

The team of former Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov said the use of funds to purchase drones in early 2026 did not result in a funding shortfall for payments to military personnel, since, following the receipt of the first tranche of a European loan, those funds were reimbursed and returned to the budget in July.
