Ukrainian authorities charged six people, including a parliament member and a national guard official, for misappropriating funds designated for drones and electronic warfare systems. This anti-corruption case follows President Zelensky's decision to restore the independence of anti-corruption agencies after public protests. The National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) stated the group signed contracts at inflated prices and received kickbacks. Local media identified the parliament member as Oleksiy Kuznyetsov, who was detained with a bail option. Additionally, four more individuals were arrested for accepting bribes related to this scheme.
