DISINFO: Ukraine is the gateway for drug transit to Europe and Russia

SUMMARY

Ukraine is one of the main gateways for drugs to get to Russia and to Europe. It was confirmed by the United Nations and the European Union. Ukrainian citizens act as couriers and suppliers, they are also organising an underground drug production and distribution in Russia.

RESPONSE

The United Nations Office for Drugs and Crime's latest analysis of drug markets show that drugs are transported to Europe and Russia mostly from Central Asia, the Balkan route and Afghanistan. Further debunking by Stop Fake (in German).
