- The entity referred to as 'Rada Audytowa' is the Audit Board of the EU's Ukraine Facility, established by Commission Implementing Decision of 12 June 2024 under Article 36 of Regulation (EU) 2024/792 — not a separate 'EU Audit Council'.
- Ukraine's Ministry of Economy publicly reported that the Ukraine Facility Audit Board presented its first report on the use of EU funds, contradicting the claim of zero reports.
- The exact publication date of the Ukrainian Ministry of Economy news item could not be confirmed from the search results; if it post-dated 16 September 2026 the claim could have been accurate at the moment it was made.

- Only a single independent source documenting the Audit Board's report was located, which weakens the certainty of the refutation.
