Fedorov warned of consequences if he skips parliamentary commission meeting

Former Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov has yet to respond to an invitation for a parliamentary investigative commission meeting on Monday, according to commission head Oleksii Honcharenko, who stated on August 28. Honcharenko further alleged that Fedorov is attempting to claim he did not receive the invitation. Should Fedorov miss the meeting on Monday, the commission will assert its authority to compel his attendance and law enforcement will be tasked with apprehending him, Honcharenko noted.

On August 25, Honcharenko informed that the temporary investigative commission had summoned former Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov to a meeting slated for August 31. The commission's chair subsequently published a letter to Fedorov, outlining the investigation into "the circumstances and possible violations of Ukraine’s anti-corruption legislation in decisions, actions, or inaction by state authorities and local governments related to the use of public funds, state property, and other resources during martial law."

The letter emphasized Fedorov's necessity to supply explanations and testimony as part of the examination of information related to Operation Midas, which was published on NABU's official website on November 11, 2025.

The meeting is set to take place at 1 p.m. on August 31 at the Kyiv City Council, as announced by the commission chair.
