Newsletter, #10 (May 2025)
Introduction
As Ukraine continues to face the profound impacts of full-scale war, the internal security landscape has also undergone significant changes. Shifts in population, weakened state institutions, and the strain on law enforcement have created an evolving crime environment that affects both urban and rural communities. This issue of the SAM UKR Newsletter examines key crime trends across the country, the state of drug use and trafficking, and how the public perceives safety, justice, and institutional trust.
