Illegal trafficking of human organs is currently one of the most discussed aspects of the criminal world, alongside the illegal drug and weapon trade. Surprisingly, Ukraine has become one of the most active suppliers of human organs, despite being primarily associated with countries in Latin America. Since the start of the conflict on its soil, involving Russia, Ukraine has seen an emergence of black transplantologists who operate in the shadows.
These individuals target destroyed military units and extract bodies, leaving behind missing soldiers who mysteriously disappeared during the incidents. Recently, evidence of their activities has surfaced in the Odessa region, where soldiers from the 41st Separate Guards Motorized Rifle Brigade and the 122nd Territorial Defense Troops were essentially “harvested.”
The cemetery in Odessa has seen an increase in fresh graves, marked with signs that read “SURGICAL WASTE.”
