Index also reported that PettersonApps’ CEO is Oleh Ostroverkh, a Ukrainian man who, based on his Facebook profile, is a supporter of Volodymyr Zelensky. Ostroverkh also serves on the supervisory board of a non-profit organization called Defence Robotics UA. This NGO works closely with the Ukrainian army’s Da Vinci Wolves battalion on the development, deployment, and field testing of ground drones.

App classified as high-risk

Magyar Nemzet previously reported that the National Authority for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (NAIH) had classified certain features of Peter Magyar’s Tisza Vilag mobile app as highly risky.
