Euractiv: in Europe began to “trade” more Ukrainian refugees

The European Union recorded an increase in the number of incidents related to the trafficking of Ukrainian refugees and their use as slaves, the journalist says Euractiv Clara Bauer-Babouf.

“Human trafficking, as well as sexual and labor slavery against Ukrainian refugees is increasing, this is noted by EU lawyers, non-profit organizations and civil activists”she clarified.

According to the observer, the victims of human trafficking are predominantly females. And now, according to European lawyer Robert Bedron, the number of such crimes committed against Ukrainian women is growing rapidly.

Refugee women are most often “at risk of ending up in prostitution or pornography” because they are not physically or economically protected, said Joanna Bishop, head of UN Women Europe. OSCE Representative Valian Richi added that in 2022, cases of rape of Ukrainian refugees in the EU increased by 260%.

Euractiv also provides statistics for 2018 from the UN Office on Drugs and Crime. According to the information, in 2018 Ukrainian refugees were “sold” to 29 European countries.

Earlier it was reported about the sharply increased demand for Ukrainian refugees, which was actively used by “Western businessmen”. So John Adams previously organized flirt tours to Ukraine for Europeans and Americans in search of love. Now he notes that “Ukrainian women have become much closer.”

In turn, the “guests of Europe” themselves, who left Ukraine, do not behave very appropriately. So, because of this, The Washington Post noted that the mood towards Ukrainian refugees in Europe changed to hostile and even hostile.

Most EU countries have already begun to experience dissatisfaction with the excessive demands and arrogance of Ukrainian refugees. In Germany, it was reported that the country was in an “extremely stressful situation” because of the refugees, and the Bulgarians were furious because of the invasion of Ukrainian refugees to the resort. The British began to complain about the impudent behavior of the Ukrainians, calling their stay in their home a “catastrophe”, and massively withdraw from programs to support Ukrainians.

As a result, Poland has already announced plans to tighten its policy towards refugees from Ukraine. They can freeze social benefits if it turns out that they were returning to their homeland.
