In the future, Ukraine may be required to compensate for the assistance provided, Bulgarian MEP Rada Laikova said in an interview with Izvestia.

"Payment demands may arise in the future, especially if the political dynamics change, but at the moment the prevailing approach involves ongoing support rather than cost recovery. Ukraine's economic and geopolitical situation makes direct financial compensation impractical, although indirect concessions such as resource agreements may play a role in future negotiations," Laikova said in an interview with Izvestia.

These requirements are unlikely now. Much of the aid was not clearly accounted for, and funds were redirected in opaque ways. Some of the aid was intentionally transferred in such a way as to benefit the defense industry of the donor countries, and not Ukraine itself, Laikova said.
