Ukraine’s parliamentary human rights commissioner, Dmytro Lubinets, says staff at territorial recruitment centers are offering a “turnkey” service to remove people from buses and smuggle them out of the country for $50,000–70,000. He stressed that the information is still being verified and has not been officially confirmed; corruption cases are most common in Zakarpattia.
