Is there a lot of crime in Ukraine?
We asked people if there is a lot of crime. They answered...
"Crime is a problem in Ukraine, with reports of corruption, organized crime, and human trafficking. The country has seen an increase in violent crime in recent years, including robberies, burglaries, and assaults. Drug trafficking is also a major issue, with Ukraine being a transit point for illegal substances. Cybercrime is also on the rise, with hackers targeting businesses and individuals," commented one expat who made the move to Ukraine.

"I have not heard about any crime but I am sure it exists. I walk in well lit parks at night and have not frequented night clubs. It seems as safe to me as my neighborhood in Canada.There are corrupt peoples and police, so I keep a low profile, do not speak too much English in the wrong places where I would attract unwanted attention. I am in the suburbs and on occasion take the subway downtown Kharkov . People have been friendly and helpful when needed, even with language difficulties," remarked another expat in Kharkov, Ukraine.
