 Putin's Daughters Foundation buys share in Russia's largest drone manufacturer. The National Intellectual Development Foundation, better known as InnoPractica, which is headed by Russian President Vladimir Putin's daughter, Katarina Tikonova, has become a co-owner of the largest Russian UAV manufacturer. The Moscow Times media outlet reported this. The publication reported that the National Intellectual Development Foundation bought a 10% stake in the GeoScan group of companies which manufactures civil aircraft, drones and software for photo-grammetric data processing. As of now, Alexei Semyonov, head of GeoScan, owns 87.5% of the company, another 2.5% is controlled by the GeoScan CEO Alexei Yuretsky. Ukraine imposed sanctions against GeoScan in early July 2023 due to the statement of Andrey Nazarov, Prime Minister of the Republic of Bashkortostan, that drones for the war in Ukraine will be created at the GeoScan-UFA facilities. GeoScan-UFA were part of the GeoScan group of companies until July 2022, but Semyonov sold 40% of the company to Vena Mirzayanov, CEO of Ural Trading, who owned the remaining 60%. The Ural Trading Company belongs to the unknown 67-year-old Khalid Zaripov. The company is engaged in numerous activities from real estate appraisal to beer and meat trade. However, drone production is not listed in its profile.
