Former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo becomes a member of the board of Fire Point, a Ukrainian defense company, while it is being investigated for corruption.

Mike Pompeo, former Secretary of State in the Trump administration, has been appointed a member of the advisory board of Fire Point, a Ukrainian defense company known for its long-range drones. This appointment comes in the context of a corruption investigation targeting the company, related to inflated prices and possible connections with Timur Mindici, an associate of President Zelensky.

Fire Point, which also develops cruise missiles, is expanding its operations, including by building a factory in Denmark. Although the company's directors claim to adhere to strict protocols, critics express concern about the company's transparency and origins. Despite the investigation, Fire Point reports revenues of approximately 1 billion dollars and proposes to improve governance by appointing Pompeo. This underscores the importance of combating corruption to gain international support in the context of the war with Russia.
