Ukrainska Pravda quoted Koretskyi saying Brussels released a €3.3 billion defence slice of the Ukraine Support Loan toward missiles and drones on Friday. It cited matching Commission wording and an RBC-Ukraine instalment count, with no delivery schedule.
Prime Minister Koretskyi told reporters on Friday that Brussels had moved a €3.3 billion slice of the Ukraine Support Loan toward priority defence buys, especially missiles and drones, Ukrainska Pravda wrote. He thanked von der Leyen and the Commission in the same breath. The outlet’s card links the cash to procurement classes, not named weapons. Friday’s statements carried no field delivery calendar or supplier roster.[1]
Republication via PubAffairs Bruxelles carried Commission language in which von der Leyen pointed the identical €3.3 billion toward drone and missile purchases, Ukrainska Pravda noted. The Brussels sentence mirrors Koretskyi’s category emphasis without suppliers or quantities. The outlet treated it as echoed official text, not a separate audit. The shared number ties the same-day Kyiv and Commission narratives.[1]
RBC-Ukraine, in material relayed by Ukrainska Pravda, tagged the move as the defence window’s fourth payout on the support loan. That label places €3.3 billion inside a running credit line rather than a one-off grant. Friday’s statements tied cash to procurement without a battlefield timetable. The instalment counter is bookkeeping, not a front-line receipt.[1]
