While the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO) did not name the individual in question, Ukrainska Pravda reported, citing sources, that it was Iryna Allakhverdiieva from President Volodymyr Zelensky's Servant of the People party.

The two Chinese companies — Limbach and Redlepus — have been working in tandem with IEMZ Kupol, a subsidiary of the Kremlin-owned weapons company Almaz-Antey, to create the drones, the U.S. Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) said in a statement.
