Smuggling disguised as humanitarian aid: goods worth half a billion hryvnias brought into Ukraine

The State Customs Service, together with the Ministry of Defence, uncovered a large-scale scheme: cars, body armor, weapons, and other equipment were imported into Ukraine under the guise of humanitarian aid.

Total amount – over 500 million UAH.

Instead of being sent to the front, some of the "humanitarian aid" was sold or used for personal purposes. Certain trucks, which were supposed to save lives, effectively became a business under the cover of war.
