The Vory (Thief in Law) in Ukraine

On 28th October, First Deputy Head of the National Police, Vyacheslav Abroskin, made a public statement about the Vory (Thieves-in-Law from Georgia and beyond) across the regions of Ukraine who have, or are attempting to obtain, Ukrainian citizenship.

The statement made, it has to be said, does not come close to the scale of the problem when it comes to Vory within the nation.

For a start, his statement relates only to those Vor who have or are actively seeking Ukrainian citizenship.  Accordingly only 19 Vory are displayed on a regional map of Ukraine.

There are omissions even to the small list of Vor attempting to remain in Ukraine via citizenship.
