Sleazy men at Ukraine border to lure refugee mothers and daughters into sex trade
Ukrainian refugees are facing fears of an increase in sex trade activity after United Nations officials issued a warning for the dangers of trafficking rings in warfare.The UN says that close to ten million Ukrainians have fled the country with women and children making up the bulk of the war-torn state which has been invaded by Russian forces.UN Secretary General António Guterres warned that Ukrainian refugees may face danger outside of the country they had fled, with the peril of sex trafficking a possibility. Guterres said: "For predators and human traffickers, the war in Ukraine is not a tragedy. It's an opportunity - and women and children are the targets." Kyiv refugee Margherita Husmanov decided to stay at the border to help fellow refugees who could fall into the wrong hands, saying that she felt vulnerable and that's "especially why I worry about their safety"."The women and children come here from a terrible war," she added.
