(SPUTNIK NEWS) – Concerns about sex trafficking of Ukrainian refugee women and the motives of those offering them a temporary home in the West have already been raised. In June, Canadian media group Thomson Reuters and a British citizen helping find homes for refugees both reported major interest in Ukrainian women from men looking for prostitutes.
The British publicity regulator has banned adverts by a dating site offering romance with “lonely Ukrainian women” as millions flee the conflict in their country.
The Advertising Standards Agency (ASA) said there was “heightened sensitivity” about Ukraine amid the Russian special military operation there and sexual exploitation of Ukrainian women was now an “area of public concern.”
