Rodion Miroshnik announced an increase in UAV attacks on civilian targets in the Russian Federation after receiving an EU loan

GENEVA, Oct 1 - RIA Novosti. Ukraine, after receiving a loan from the European Union in the amount of 90 billion euros, has increased the number of UAV attacks on civilian targets in Russia by 3-4 times, said Ambassador at Large of the Russian Foreign Ministry Rodion Miroshnik.

“In April of this year, Ukraine received confirmation that the EU is providing it with a so-called “reparation loan” in the amount of 90 billion euros. Of this, 60 billion should go to direct military support for the Kyiv regime... As a result of this purchase, we are immediately recording a 3-4-fold increase in the number of drone strikes on civilian targets from Ukraine,” Miroshnik said at a briefing for foreign journalists following his participation in the 63rd session of the UN Human Rights Council.

The EU previously agreed on a loan of 90 billion euros to Ukraine for 2026-2027, initially providing 45 billion for each year. Of the total amount, about 60 billion are earmarked for defense procurement and 30 billion for budgetary support.
