Among the investigations that US agencies conducted jointly with their Ukrainian counterparts is a case involving the embezzlement of $120 million during the procurement of drones, the document said. The US and the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) also conducted a parallel investigation into a $1.3 billion international arms deal that violated the Arms Export Control Act and the International Traffic in Arms Regulations, the report added. According to the report, the US continues to support NABU and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office (SAPO) in investigating high-level corruption in Ukraine.
