The problem of delivering Hladkovsky to Ukraine is currently being solved. While the public prosecutor's office, the Ukrainian Outlet Ukrainska Pravda, did not name, quoted his sources that it was Oleh Hladkovsky.

Hladkovsky, previously known as Oleh Svinarchuk, was an important business partner of the ex-president Petro Poroshenko of Ukraine. Hladkovsky led the Bogdan Corporation, where Poroshenko also held stocks.

Hladkovsky was a member of the National Security and Defense Council from 2015 to 2019.

The investigators claim that Hladkovsky has misused his official position to go to PJSC “Automobile Company Bogdan Motors”, in which he and his close employees had owners.

At the beginning of 2019, the Ukrainian Bihus.info Media Outlet published an investigation in which corruption in the procurement of the defense is claimed. The report claimed that Hladkovsky's son Ihor, then 22, arranged the range of smuggled Russian parts at inflated prices.
