"Ukraine's anti-corruption agency has been investigating the country's star deep-strike drone company — Fire Point — over concerns it misled the government on pricing and deliveries, five sources with knowledge of the investigation told the Kyiv Independent.
The National Anti-Corruption Bureau, or NABU, is also looking into the co-owner of President Volodymyr Zelensky's former film studio as the alleged ultimate beneficiary of the company, sources said.
Until recently, the weapons maker was virtually unknown outside of Ukraine's defense circles, despite appearing to be one of the largest — if not the largest — recipient of Defense Ministry drone budget funds, according to documents obtained by the Kyiv Independent."[0]

"The main anti-corruption agencies in Ukraine announced on Monday that they had uncovered a major corruption scheme in which contractors of the state-owned nuclear energy company had been forced to pay hefty kickbacks.
The inquiry was announced by the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Special Anticorruption Prosecutor — agencies that President Volodymyr Zelensky tried to defang in July after they had investigated his close associates.
...
The news release by the anti-corruption agencies, and the slickly produced videos that followed, showed they were continuing to dig into suspected schemes after Mr. Zelensky reversed his legislative efforts to neuter the agencies in July. He backed down after young Ukrainians took to the streets, saying the country’s democracy must be protected." [0]
