• On 23 October, the SSU confirmed the detention of the president of Motor Sich JSC and the head of the company's foreign economic activity department, as they were suspected of collaborating and aiding the aggressor state.
• The investigation believes these officials acted in collusion with representatives of the Russian corporation Rostec, which is one of the main arms manufacturers for the Russian Armed Forces, close to the Kremlin. The offenders set up transnational channels for the illegal supply of wholesale consignments of Ukrainian aircraft engines to the aggressor country.
