- An-225 aircraft was destroyed during an enemy fire in Gostomel. In March, the management of "Antonov" was accused of the fact that the plane was lost due to its irresponsibility — the ship was not evacuated, although it was possible. Already on March 24, "Antonov" opened an account to collect funds for the restoration of "Mriya".
- The Security Service of Ukraine established that the officials of the state-owned enterprise "Antonov", despite the warnings of the state authorities, did not protect the An-225 "Mriya" aircraft from destruction during the invasion of Russia.
- On March 29, "Ukroboronprom" removed Serhiy Bychkov from the position of general director of the state enterprise "Antonov" based on the results of an official investigation after checking individual facts.
