Ukraine’s border guards publish up-to-date information on combating human trafficking

A spokesman for the SBGSU, Andriy Demchenko, said this on national television, reports a Ukrinform correspondent.

“Throughout the period of martial law, our employees, together with other law enforcement agencies, uncovered 630 criminal groups (that illegally smuggled people across the border – editor’s note). This number refers to groups in which a much larger number of accomplices were involved – both masterminds and local guides are punishable for their actions,” he said.

As reported, the spokesman for the State Border Guard Service said on September 23 that Ukrainian border guards had uncovered over 600 human trafficking rings since the introduction of martial law.
