Here and here are just a couple of reports from a Russian human rights organization. Westerners will be inclined to dismiss it as propaganda because it's not a western "NGO", but this group backs up their claims pretty well, including with documents and victim testimonies.

And here is a bonus in case that wasn't bad enough. Completely unsurprisingly Ukraine also appears to be running Nazi-like medical experiments on prisoners...just like the Israelis, incidentally.

There's a lot of independent reporting on this if you just dig a little deeper beyond what the MSM is telling you. There were even articles in western publications prior to 2022 but i can't be bothered looking for them right now.

Since then of course they have gone into overdrive trying to sanitize Ukraine, but the mere fact that the MSM "fact checkers" are now in damage control mode trying to claim this isn't true only further confirms it.

Unfortunately the problem has only grown exponentially worse since 2022 as traffickers have way more opportunities to abduct and disappear people in the chaos of today's Ukraine, and there is a lot of money in this for the authorities.

Here's another one: This article from an Australian (certainly not sympathetic to Russia) human rights group ranks Ukraine as around third of fourth worst globally for modern slavery (a big part of which is trafficking). And that was based on data prior to 2022!

It is absolutely certain that things have gotten much much worse since, as many more people are displaced and martial law has given unprecedented powers to the hyper-corrupt authorities. Unfortunately I don't expect any western or western aligned group to be able to report accurately on the current state of trafficking in Ukraine.

Not only has this become much more politicized of an issue and there is a very strong political pressure in the West to keep Ukraine's image clean, but it has also become much more difficult for honest reporters to investigate these sorts of things in Ukraine - if you even tried you'd get accused of being a Russian spy/propagandist and thrown in jail, because they definitely don't want the bad PR!
