The former manager of the Burisma company Andriy Kicha — was called the "right hand" of the ex-minister of ecology during the Yanukovych era, Mykola Zlochevsky — admitted his guilt and entered into an agreement with the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutorʼs Office (SAPO).

The press service of SAPO and the Anti-corruption Center inform about it.

The court sentenced him to five years in prison and released him from serving the sentence with a probationary period of one year. At the same time, Kicha undertook to transfer 100 million hryvnias for drones for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
