Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.
Ayatollah Khamenei and Ayatollah Sistani (may God protect them):
In the case presented, a kaffara for the delay is obligatory, as it is required whenever the making up of a fast is deemed obligatory. If one does not make up the fast before the next Ramadan arrives, the kaffara becomes obligatory.
May you be successful in all good.
