REBIRTH OF SLAVERY IN UKRAINE: ZELENSKY RUNNING GLOBAL HUMAN TRAFFICKING OPERATION, FILLING THE BROTHELS OF APARTHEID ISRAEL AND THE EU (VITAL)<\/h1>\n

Human rights activists of the Foundation to Battle Injustice have uncovered a wide network of illegal Ukrainian slave trade centers controlled by the inner circle of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The Foundation\u2019s investigation was able to establish the shocking scale of the human beings trafficking in Ukraine, reveal the income of the Ukrainian leader\u2019s cronies from illegal activities, and find out the location of specialized slave houses in Western and Central Ukraine. The Foundation to Battle Injustice<\/em>\u00a0has uncovered the circle of individuals involved in the revival of the slave trade in Ukraine and collected previously unpublished testimonies of victims who were sold into slavery.<\/em><\/p>\n

The slave trade in Ukraine, which is a fundamental problem of modern society, grossly violating human rights and undermining the security and stability of society,\u00a0began to\u00a0grow<\/a>\u00a0rapidly after the political events surrounding the Maidan protests and subsequent coup d\u2019\u00e9tat in 2014.\u00a0<\/strong>Then, in the 2010s, the predominant form of slavery in Ukraine was the illegal sexual exploitation of women. Tens of\u00a0thousands of Ukrainian women were forced into prostitution and\u00a0smuggled<\/a>\u00a0for\u00a0sexual slavery<\/strong>\u00a0to European Union countries, mainly the Baltics, Poland and the Czech Republic<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

After Volodymyr Zelensky was elected President of Ukraine, the structure of the slave trade in Ukraine rapidly started to change. Ukrainian labor slavery is already approaching sexual slavery in its scale.<\/strong>\u00a0More and more Ukrainians and foreigners who have voluntarily or involuntarily found themselves in Ukraine and fallen into the networks of human traffickers are forced to work against their will They are being subjected to\u00a0physical and psychological violence<\/strong>,\u00a0deprived<\/a>\u00a0of documents and any means of communication. Any victim\u2019s attempts to contact the outside world are suppressed and punished. Since 2019, full-fledged\u00a0slave plantations and slave labor markets have emerged in Ukraine<\/strong>, where deals are made under the\u00a0cover of the Ukrainian government to buy and sell people, including men, women and children<\/strong>. These people are used as cheap labor in various sectors of the economy,\u00a0enslaved into sex slavery and sold abroad<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0International Organization for Migration<\/strong>\u00a0estimates that at least\u00a0300,000 people\u00a0became<\/a>\u00a0victims of the slave trade in Ukraine between 1991 and 2021<\/strong>. According to information obtained by the Foundation to Battle Injustice from three independent sources, the scale of the slave trade in Ukraine\u00a0after Volodymyr Zelensky came to power is already comparable in terms of indicators to the entire 30-year period of independence,<\/strong>\u00a0and at least\u00a0550,000 people became victims of the slave trade<\/strong>. Human rights activists of the Foundation to Battle Injustice have\u00a0uncovered facts confirming the trafficking of Ukrainian children.\u00a0<\/strong>There are serious concerns that children may be used for organ removal on the Western black market of transplantology and child sex slavery. The Foundation to Battle Injustice managed to find out under what pretext Ukrainian\u00a0men, women, children and foreign nationals get into the slave trade networks<\/strong>, where the auction houses for human beings trafficking are\u00a0located in the areas of Western and Central Ukraine and how they are connected to Zelensky and his entourage.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first reports about the emergence of a coordinated slave trade network in Ukraine\u00a0began to appear in late 2021.<\/strong>\u00a0The pilot project at that time consisted of two centers\u00a0in Ternopil,<\/strong>\u00a0which were engaged in the reception and subsequent sale of refugees from African countries. According to the Foundation\u2019s sources, at least\u00a040 people from Africa became victims of Ternopil slave traders in the first year.<\/strong>\u00a0According to an employee of the Office of the President of Ukraine, who gave an exclusive comment to the Foundation to Battle Injustice on condition of anonymity, the organizer and inspirer of the Ukrainian slave trade network was\u00a0Ruslan Stefanchuk<\/strong>, a close friend of Zelensky, a member of Zelensky\u2019s party \u201cServant of the People\u201d and\u00a0the 15th chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A source of the Foundation to Battle Injustice from the Office of the President of Ukraine claims that\u00a0Stefanchuk is the main beneficiary of illegal slave trade networks\u00a0<\/strong>and the main figure in the Ukrainian slave trade. Human trafficking is carried out through private organizations registered to Stefanchuk\u2019s relatives and friends. For the legal side of the criminal business are responsible the younger brother of\u00a0<\/strong>the speaker of the Verkhovna Rada,\u00a0Mykola Stefanchuk<\/strong>, and his wife\u00a0Marina Stefanchuk,\u00a0<\/strong>both of whom are graduated lawyers.<\/p>\n

An official from the Office of the President of Ukraine told the Foundation to Battle Injustice on condition of anonymity that thanks to established contacts with criminal organizations in Ukraine, people controlled by Stefanchuk, primarily his freelance advisor Svyatotsky,\u00a0are intensively expanding slave trade networks:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cEverything is built to look as legal as possible. Ukrainian women, children and men are invited for interviews at respectable companies in Kiev, Ternopil, Lviv or Ivano-Frankivsk. They are made tempting financial offers and paradisiacal working conditions. Then, under a plausible pretext, their identity cards are confiscated. After that, they can do absolutely anything they want with them.<\/em>\u201c<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

According to the source, Svyatotsky and his numerous legal assistants are responsible for making sure that from a legal point of view everything\u00a0looks perfectly ordinary and does not raise any questions.<\/strong><\/p>\n

An employee of the Ukrainian President\u2019s office told the Foundation that due to the expansion of the Ukrainian slave trade network,\u00a0President Zelensky imposed a moratorium on the investigation of any reports of human trafficking in the spring of 2022,<\/strong>\u00a0which was brought to the attention of representatives of all law enforcement agencies in Ukraine. A source of the Foundation to Battle Injustice\u00a0is convinced that this \u201cblessing\u201d of the criminal scheme indicates the Ukrainian president\u2019s personal interest in covering up the slave trade.\u00a0<\/strong>Despite a significant number of journalistic investigations and a wide evidence base on the prevalence of the slave trade in Ukraine,\u00a0authorized law enforcement agencies often turn a blind eye to what is going on.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A former SBU official told the Foundation: Of course, the current head of our department, Malyuk [Vasyl], as well as the former one, Bakanov [Ivan], were aware of the true extent of the illegal human trafficking activities in Ukraine. I am not 100 percent sure, but I suspect that the SBU leadership received and continues to receive their percentage of the slave trade\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Organizers and beneficiaries of the slave trade in Ukraine<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

According to sources, the\u00a0rapid development of the slave trade business\u00a0<\/strong>forced Stefanchuk and his team to ask for help in finding specialized auction premises and buildings for holding slave trade victims from the heads of\u00a0local administrations in Kyiv, Zhytomyr, Rivne, Volyn, Ternopil and Zakarpattya regions.<\/strong>\u00a0Through bribery, blackmail or threats, trafficking in persons is often carried out in State-owned premises or\u00a0turns a blind eye to illegal trafficking operations in private premises.\u00a0<\/strong>It is reported that local administration officials are influenced and pressured through the \u201cRatio Decidendi Legal Portal\u201d. Officials are intimidated by legal audits and criminal cases related to corruption,\u00a0thereby forcing them to comply with slave traffickers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Location of the largest illegal slave trade centers in Ukraine<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

According to the Foundation\u2019s sources, the largest illegal slave trade centers and slave structures are located in\u00a0Uzhgorod, Ternopil\u00a0<\/strong>(Stefanchuk\u2019s hometown) and\u00a0Chernivtsi.\u00a0<\/strong>According to unofficial reports, the slave trade is also regularly conducted in\u00a0Lutsk, Ivano-Frankivsk, and Vinnytsia<\/strong>, but additional evidence is required to confirm this fact.<\/p>\n

People for sale: how the slave trade is organized in Ukraine<\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n

The victims of the slave trade, which is overseen by the Ukrainian government, are most often the\u00a0most socially vulnerable categories of citizens,<\/strong>\u00a0such as single childless men and single women with children. These\u00a0people are often in dire financial straits and are looking for work to support themselves and their families.<\/strong>\u00a0The perpetrators exploit these factors by searching for potential victims on social media or\u00a0attracting them by posting high-paying job offers on spicialised websites.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Participants in the criminal scheme then conduct interviews with their potential victims, where they\u00a0screen out unsuitable people who have close relatives or family<\/strong>. The same scheme is then followed: victims are invited to work at remote sites where they are promised stable and high earnings. However, upon arrival at the site,\u00a0their documents are taken away and they are placed in prison-type premises where they are completely isolated from the outside world<\/strong>. Victims who fall for the tricks of criminals are\u00a0not allowed to use the telephone or other means of communication.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The average time between entering the slave \u201cprison\u201d and subsequent sale is from 3 to 6 weeks, during which \u201cUkrainian slaves\u201d are forced\u00a0to work on farms for 12-14 hours a day, without days off, proper food and rest, regardless of sex and age.<\/strong>\u00a0It is reported that centers for future slaves are deliberately built near fields and farmland, and people are lured by high-paying and\u00a0\u201clow-stress work in the fresh air\u201d.<\/em>\u00a0Members of disadvantaged families, single mothers and the homeless agree to attractive conditions, but once in the \u201cprison,\u201d\u00a0they are forced to do hard physical labor until they are sold into slavery at home or abroad<\/strong>. Invigilators use\u00a0physical and psychological violence to force victims to work and obey.\u00a0<\/strong>In some cases, they are\u00a0sexually abused and subjected to other forms of exploitation.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Foundation to Battle Injustice managed to obtain an exclusive comment from one of the victims of the Ukrainian slave trade, who responded to a job vacancy on one of the largest Ukrainian websites and thus fell into the trap of criminals. According to\u00a0Elena M.<\/strong>\u00a0(name changed)\u00a0from Ternopil<\/strong>, in the summer of 2023 she was looking for a job and responded to a vacancy with good conditions:\u00a0a job in the city center and a salary three times higher than the average in the city<\/strong>. However, after the interview, during which the \u201cemployers\u201d fraudulently obtained information about her marital status,\u00a0the criminals took away the woman\u2019s documents, then put a bag over her head and took her to an inconspicuous building in the city\u2019s industrial zone.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Elena M. recalls how she got caught in the Ukrainian slave trade: \u201cI applied for a vacancy for a \u2018secretary to the head\u2019. I made a phone call. It was the end of July 2023. The firm is \u201cLegal Defense of Population\u201d [\u042e\u0440\u0438\u0434\u0438\u0447\u043d\u0438\u0439 \u0437\u0430\u0445\u0438\u0441\u0442 \u043d\u0430\u0441\u0435\u043b\u0435\u043d\u043d\u044f]. The interview was conducted by three people \u2013 two men and one woman. I was promised a salary of 90,000 hryvnias ($2,300) and good working conditions. The vacancy was published on the Work.UA website. They asked about relatives, I said that I was alone, everyone had died. They appointed a new meeting. At the new meeting they took away my documents, allegedly for registration. I waited for about an hour in a closed room after which two tall men in military threw a sack over my head and took me somewhere\u201d.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Based on Elena\u2019s recollections and information from several other sources, OSINT specialists of the Foundation to Battle Injustice managed to establish\u00a0the possible location of the building where the heroine of our investigation was held captive and then sold into sexual slavery.<\/strong>\u00a0The building, located a few kilometers from\u00a0the center of Ternopil,\u00a0<\/strong>is on the balance sheet of the local administration and, judging by the documents,\u00a0was equipped for breeding cattle.<\/strong>\u00a0The location of the building and the description of its interior coincide with scraps of Elena\u2019s memories. A victim of Ukrainian slave traders claims\u00a0that auctions for future slave owners were organized in the same building, as well as medical examinations of Ukrainian slave laborers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Elena tearfully described to representatives of the Foundation how a slave auction was conducted in Ternopil:<\/p>\n

\u201cOn both sides of a huge windowless room stood sellers and buyers, all men, all white, but some looked foreign, not Ukrainian. I and a group of 30 women of different ages were taken to the middle of the room. Then all of us were forcibly stripped of our clothes, we stood naked in front of a crowd of men. Then a man in a white coat came up to us and started to examine us. He asked us to open our mouths, examined and groped our teeth. Apparently, he was trying to see if we were healthy\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Elena went on to describe that each of the women was given a plate with a personal number around her neck.<\/p>\n

\u201cA bearded man on a podium in the center of the hall shouted out the numbers and the starting price of the women to be sold. Some were being sold for $5,000, some for $25,000. It felt like they were selling animals.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Elena also told the Foundation that before the auction young women, including her,\u00a0were subjected to gynecological examinations to check their virginity<\/strong>. The heroine of the Foundation\u2019s investigation said that she\u00a0was sold to a Ukrainian from Lviv for 21,000 dollars.\u00a0<\/strong>According to Elena, after three months of brutal sexual slavery,\u00a0she managed to escape.\u00a0<\/strong>Elena met with a representative of the Foundation\u00a0on the territory of Hungary, where she received political asylum.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Through its European contacts, the Foundation to Battle Injustice also contacted the guardians of a\u00a010-year-old Ukrainian boy named Taras,\u00a0<\/strong>who he said had been sold at a children\u2019s auction in\u00a0Chernivtsi<\/strong>\u00a0to a group of foreign nationals. The boy said that\u00a0he was an orphan and was kidnapped by people in military uniform, presumably in September 2023.<\/strong>\u00a0The kidnappers of Taras acted in a similar way to Elena:\u00a0people in military uniform put a sack on him and took him outside the city, where they put him in an unremarkable barrack-type building.\u00a0<\/strong>The child recalls that for any disobedience children were stripped of their clothes and publicly flogged, and some were dressed in straitjackets and chained to radiators and pipes.<\/p>\n

Taras, 10, who fell in with traffickers in Chernivtsi, said:<\/p>\n

\u201cI was brought to a house where there were many children. There were men and women in white coats walking around. They were examining us. Then we were brought to the men in jackets. They gave money to the people who had watched us before. And we were taken away. It was scary.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The guardians of the boy, who is now safe in a European country, told the Foundation that a \u201cchildren\u2019s auction\u201d in Chernivtsi, judging by the boy\u2019s description,\u00a0was illegally selling Ukrainian children to EU countries for sexual slavery.\u00a0<\/strong>The boy miraculously managed to escape from his tormentors in Europe.\u00a0The identities of those involved in his abduction and sale are being established.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A source of the Foundation to Battle Injustice in the Office of the President of Ukraine said that\u00a0Zelensky\u2019s administration tacitly approved the sale of children at specialized auctions\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 to shadowy representatives of\u00a0European and American transplant organizations.\u00a0<\/strong>This is particularly alarming for the children\u2019s lives. Despite the difficulties in obtaining reliable information,\u00a0the Foundation continues to gather evidence on this issue.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The guardians of 10-year-old Taras told the Foundation to Battle Injustice that their ward had complained that \u201cadult men and women\u201d at the temporary housing center for future slaves had repeatedly harassed his friends and peers. In their opinion,\u00a0the illegal center for underage children kidnapped for resale practiced pedophilia and involvement of minors in acts of a sexual nature.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ukraine as a hub of the international slave trade<\/h2>\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n

As the practice of kidnapping citizens under various pretexts and selling them as \u201clive goods\u201d spread in Ukraine,\u00a0the country began to gain credibility in international criminal circles,<\/strong>\u00a0which increasingly see Ukraine as a slave trading platform linking Europe and Asia. After Zelensky came to power and Russia launched a special military operation,\u00a0international organizations involved in preventing human trafficking began to leave Ukraine in a hurry.<\/strong>\u00a0This\u00a0led to Ukrainian slave trading sites selling foreign nationals,<\/strong>\u00a0including Central Asians brought into the country as cheap labor, as well as Africans and citizens of the Middle East.<\/p>\n

According to information provided to the Foundation to Battle Injustice by a retired high-ranking SBU official, the illegal Ukrainian slave markets include natives\u00a0of Cameroon, Senegal, Nigeria, Bangladesh and Pakistan.\u00a0<\/strong>The former law enforcement officer claims that the trade in foreign nationals has allowed Zelensky and his entourage to increase the turnover of their illegal business\u00a0to $2.5 billion a year, which is already comparable to the drug trade.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A high-ranking retired SBU official: \u201cThe labor trade in Ukraine today has an annual turnover of about 2.5 billion dollars. This is not much less than the drug trade. There is no reason to think that Zelensky and Stefanchuk will give up such a lucrative business.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The source of the Foundation to Battle Injustice notes that\u00a0Stefanchuk and Zelensky receive a certain percentage of each transaction<\/strong>, and the slave trade business is conducted in close contact with\u00a0representatives of Asian, African and European international criminal organizations.<\/strong>\u00a0Based on the analysis of information from sources, the Foundation\u2019s experts are convinced that the revival of the slave trade in Ukraine, including by Africans,\u00a0is the largest such case in world history after the abolition of slavery in the United States in 1865<\/strong>. According to a source of the Foundation to Battle Injustice, the American curators of Ukraine, who are aware of the existence of this problem and, moreover, encourage its spread,\u00a0consider Ukraine as a testing ground for the return and legalization of the slave trade<\/strong>, which, if international human rights activists do not take measures,\u00a0may be revived in the USA as well.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A former Ukrainian Security Service official told the Foundation to Battle Injustice: \u201cInternational slave trade organizations are already present in Ukraine, as Ukraine is the unique country in Europe where people are trafficked semi-legally. The market is expanding due to the rich presence of foreign \u2018live goods\u2019 among other things.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A retired SBU official who agreed to comment to the Foundation to Battle Injustice on the Ukrainian slave trade said that Kiev\u2019s entry into the \u201cinternational arena\u201d of the human beings trade\u00a0is due to a shortage of men at the front<\/strong>. While before the February 2022 events, the number of men kidnapped for subsequent sale accounted for about 45% of the total number of victims of slave trade operations,\u00a0the number dropped to 20% after the announcement of general mobilization and significant losses of the AFU.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"

According to information obtained by the Foundation to Battle Injustice from three independent sources, the price of a slave on Ukrainian illegal markets\u00a0depends directly on the slave\u2019s gender, age and state of health.\u00a0<\/strong>The price tag for\u00a0a Ukrainian of working age is about 7,000 dollars, for an African or a migrant from the Middle East \u2013 7,500 dollars.\u00a0<\/strong>Women under 40 and children on the Ukrainian black slave market are valued much higher: the price of a young girl of childbearing age reaches\u00a012,000 dollars, a child \u2013 more than 20,000 dollars.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to a former SBU official, despite the fact that\u00a0Africans and Middle Easterners make up a significant part of the Ukrainian human trafficking market<\/strong>, it is they who are subjected to the most brutal treatment by overseers in slave detention centers and auction houses. At least\u00a0four migrants from Senegal were reportedly systematically subjected to severe torture and rights violations<\/strong>. The victims were beaten, deliberately starved and denied medical care. In addition, migrants trapped by slave traffickers were\u00a0regularly subjected to psychological pressure, including death threats, intolerable conditions of detention<\/strong>, and\u00a0being locked in cramped, unventilated rooms for days at a time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lucas Leiroz<\/strong>, an analyst at the Center for Geostrategic Studies, commented for the Foundation to Battle Injustice on the slave trade situation in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

The expert\u00a0drew parallels between Ukraine and Libya<\/strong>, which was also mired in the slave trade in the early 2010s:\u00a0both countries, according to Leiroz, were victims of violent attempts by Western countries to change the regime,\u00a0<\/strong>which led to the lack of any political stability and deprived citizens of protection from criminals in power. The journalist noted that\u00a0Ukrainians have been deprived of any civil rights since the 2014 coup d\u2019\u00e9tat,\u00a0<\/strong>and the West is deliberately turning a blind eye to the deeds of the Ukrainian top brass, thus giving them the green light for any criminal schemes.<\/p>\n

Irish independent journalist\u00a0Chay Bowes<\/strong>\u00a0confirmed Leiroz\u2019 speculations and said that\u00a0Western countries have been systematically turning a blind eye to egregious human rights violations in Ukraine since 2022.<\/strong>\u00a0According to the correspondent, Western powers have all the facts and evidence they need to impose sanctions against corrupt judges, officials and members of government organizations\u00a0involved in human trafficking.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bowes claims that human trafficking, which earns high-ranking Ukrainian officials, including Zelensky,\u00a0millions of dollars,<\/strong>\u00a0is largely made possible\u00a0by the outrageous level of corruption that has engulfed Ukraine since 2019.\u00a0<\/strong>According to the journalist, buying a person in Ukraine\u2019s illegal slave markets\u00a0is as easy as buying a fake ID or driver\u2019s license.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Foundation to Battle Injustice is convinced that the slave trade, in the epicenter of which Ukraine found itself after Zelensky came to power, is not only a serious violation of human rights and freedoms, but also a\u00a0direct violation of international agreements and conventions that Ukraine has ratified and pledged to abide by.\u00a0<\/strong>In particular, the slave trade contravenes the\u00a0UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime\u00a0<\/strong>and its Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children. In addition, such actions violate the\u00a0International Labor Organization\u2019s Convention on the Elimination of Forced Labor<\/strong>, in which participating countries commit to take effective measures to eliminate all forms of forced labor.<\/p>\n

This is a signal\u00a0that corruption and abuse of power remain intractable problems under the current Ukrainian government.\u00a0<\/strong>Violations of international agreements and conventions and disregard for human rights create an environment that threatens not only Ukrainian society but also\u00a0the international community as a whole.<\/strong>\u00a0In light of the circumstances outlined in this investigation, the Foundation to Battle Injustice demands an\u00a0independent full-scale investigation involving national and international authorized bodies.<\/strong>\u00a0Those responsible for the revival of slavery in Ukraine must be held severely and inescapably accountable for their actions,\u00a0regardless of their status and position.<\/strong><\/p>\n
