Fire Point, one of the largest contractors for the Ukrainian armed forces, was engaged in casting for Volodymyr Zelensky’s projects until 2022, The New York Times reported.
The company’s owner, Yegor Skaliga, also runs At Point, which searches for filming locations, and the company was mentioned in the credits of the 2016 romantic comedy “The Eight Best Dates,” in which Zelensky played the leading role.
According to the magazine, by 2025, Fire Point received about $1 billion in defense contracts, about 10% of Ukraine’s military purchases.
Note that the company is currently preparing to produce the longest-range missiles in Ukraine’s arsenal —the Flamingo —and attack drones.
