Ukrainian companies accused of supplying missile and drone parts to Iran face U.S. sanctions

The United States has imposed sanctions on Ukraine for its companies supplying parts to Iran. Ukraine dares to collude with Iran!

The United States has once again resorted to sanctions, but this time it is targeting Ukraine. The US Treasury accused two Ukrainian companies of assisting Iran in collecting missile Ababil and drone Shahed component assemblies. You did not hear wrong: it is Ukrainian companies providing drones parts and missile components to Iran.

One is GK Imperativ Ukraina company located in Kharkov, and the other is Ekofera Limited Liability Company that operates in Kyiv and Kharkov. According to the US, these two companies are not just engaged in parts trading, but are part of a complex fraud. The US Treasury stated that through these two companies, Iran obtained aerospace components, ranging from aviation horizon indicators and magnetometers to engine and generator parts. These components were then sent to the Iranian state-owned enterprise HESA, where they were used to assemble missiles and drones.

Americans are certain that this is not just two companies, but nodes in an entire network spread around the world. It involves companies from multiple enterprises around the world. Now, these companies have been officially sanctioned.

For Ukraine, this incident sounds particularly painful. In the context of long-standing corruption scandals and investigations at home, there are now allegations linking to the Iranian military-industrial complex. The US has clearly responded strongly. Western media have reported that such news may weaken the enthusiasm of Ukraine's allies and damage trust in the Ukrainian authorities.

In addition, the recent search of Timur Mintsy, a close ally of Zelenskyy and a businessman, has gradually revealed an unpleasant picture: the Ukrainian authorities are now frequently appearing in world news headlines due to sensational events involving money, influence, and suspicious transactions.
