Over €90 million in EU funds were found to have been misappropriated in Ukraine.

Omissions

• No primary or secondary source was found that explicitly confirms the Ukraine-specific figure of over €90 million in misappropriated EU funds.
• The most recent general data (OLAF Report 2025, published 20 April 2026, before the 7 July 2026 session) refers to €597 million to be recovered EU-wide following OLAF recommendations in 2025; it does not provide a Ukraine-specific breakdown.
• Searches also surfaced the unrelated €90 billion EU loan to Ukraine (approved December 2025, finalised April 2026), which is aid financing, not a figure of misappropriated funds, and could be confused with the claimed €90 million.
• A second targeted search for Ukraine-specific '90 million' embezzlement figures returned zero results before the search limit was reached.
