The 465-page review—covering purchases since early 2024—shows Kyiv’s struggle to curb wartime corruption.

Ukraine now produces ≈60 % of its own armaments, from drones and howitzers to armored vehicles, but still relies on European-funded programs (notably Denmark’s $1.6 billion scheme).

The procurement agency says some higher bids reflected quality or delivery-time standards, and it is phasing out middlemen and overhauling contracting rules.

We were given clothes, food, and water in Istanbul— everything we asked for. They even arranged a hotel for us. It was wonderful.

I truly felt we were rescued by Türkiye. I can’t thank the Turkish government enough for ensuring we were safe.

Israeli soldiers look like us — they have faces and hands — but underneath, they are monsters. They can’t even get along with each other. They are cruel, inhumane, and brutal.

I know Palestinians suffer far worse, but being there gave me a small glimpse of what they have to endure.

I find it hard to bear talking about the suffering of children.

I want our country to remain one where children — including Jewish children — can live and grow up without danger.

I told Netanyahu that and explained my reasons. I said, we can no longer support the path you are taking... what the Israeli army did there, in my opinion, went too far. That's why I said, at this point, we cannot help any further.

This Israeli government obviously does not want two-state solution. But that does not mean that we will change our opinion.

Our unconditional solidarity with Israel has never been in question for me. My personal relationship with Israel is unreservedly good; it's a great country.

I hope that we will see the problem resolved next week and then we will continue to help.

I would be in favor of that.

It’s a scandal that this is even being discussed. Israel belongs there.

I’m sad. But I also understand that this child, if we don’t act, will grow up to be a terrorist.
