The British entity is the named supplier on the 2024 Ukraine call-off and the 2025 evaluation framework. The Grayzone reported that Amil Khan of Valent Projects wrote in April 2022 that his firm already held a contract with Chemonics, then overseeing the Partnership Fund.Kit Klarenberg, Leaked files expose high-level UK military plot to destroy The Grayzone The Grayzone, 20 November 2024. That email predates this company’s incorporation. The subcontract is not in the award notices above.
