This is probably the tip of the shit iceberg for Ukraine. Can’t imagine the sex trafficking gets ant better after the war when its considered safe for the sex tourists to travel to.
After maidan coup govt hit Ukraine with new wave of economical shock therapy, millions of Ukrainians went into Poland and further in EU in search of living. Men were more fortunate, largely getting permits to stay and legal jobs (a socialdumping ones though), there was around 1,7-2 millions of them in Poland. But there was also huge number of Ukrianians living in the gray zone here, and those were mostly women. Hired, often illegally, as houskeepers, servants… with or without " ". And a whole lot ended openly as prostitutes.
I saw a harrowing street interview with a homeless Russian girl who looked like she was around 10. The interviewer asks her how she makes money for food and she just casually answers that she has sex with men. Interviewer pauses then asks her how many other kids are doing it and she just says “oh, all the kids my age are doing it.”
Something something the Soviet woman was freed from being forced to become a scientist by Gorbachev, who gave them the option of unemployment or sex work

Before the war Ukraine had the cheapest surrogacy prices for a “White” country and had a booming medical trial industry

And that was even before the full war.
Yeah, Ukraine in the 90’s was…
The whole former USSR was like that.
