Context
Fire Point is a Ukrainian defense company known for producing long-range Flamingo missiles and FP-1 strike drones. In recent months, a public confrontation has been ongoing around the company and Shtilerman personally: the Anti-Corruption Center has publicly raised questions about the origin of the company’s funding and Shtilerman’s biography (in particular, his past in Russia), while Shtilerman himself and Fire Point deny the charges and state that there are no criminal proceedings against the company or its management.
