Drugs in the Armed Forces. Large salary and availability of substances bribes the military - experts

Prosecutor General Andriy Kostin recognized the presence of chains of supplies of narcotic drugs to the front line - with this problem help to fight European institutions and even the FBI. Affordable and cheap substances dilute sad weekdays, but the efficiency of combat units falls, the military focus says. Ukrainian law enforcement officers drew attention to the drug supply chains to the war zone.

The Prosecutor General of Ukraine Andriy Kostin announced to strengthen the counteraction to illegal production and transmission of narcotic drugs to employees in the Armed Forces. According to him, there are results for identifying the distribution routes and the production of dangerous drugs for people and the state. "There may be chains of supplying these funds to the front line, to the armed forces.

We counteract and understand that this direction is and will be our priority until we stop this activity at the state," Kostin said. The Prosecutor General called the issue of combating drug trafficking among the military complex and having a cross -border dimension. All partners assist Ukraine at the level of European institutions, the Ministry of Justice of the United States and the FBI, he added.

The problem of non-systemic drug use is in almost every combat unit and the main factor in its distribution-easy availability and price of goods, says officer of the 67th separate mechanized brigade, military psychologist Andriy Kozinchuk in conversation with focus. "In the military in the war zone, there is no decent salary and problems in money. Not at all the" New Mail "items there are law enforcement officers who would check the cargo.

Every military is faced with fear, hyperstress, great responsibility and lack Exports "service, because they are not changed for a long time. In my unit, drug attitude is clear - it is evil that reduces efficiency on the battlefield," he said. Kozinchuk emphasizes that there are fewer drug problems than the rear. For the most part, different types of salts, marijuana and amphetamine enter the front. "I would like to emphasize that drug use is not tolerated anywhere.

It is impossible to even imagine the situation of open use to commanders or comrades. For those who use, they have to look for like -minded people and hide," the military added. According to the People's Deputy, the Secretary of the Defense Committee of the Verkhovna Rada Roman Kostenko, the problem with the use of drugs by the soldiers comes from the realities of Ukrainian society. "The army is ordinary people, Ukrainians. The Armed Forces of the Armed Forces is not known to Ukrainian society.

The extent of drug spread, here requires law enforcement investigations. The focus politician said. There may be cases of abuse of medical drugs Buttorphanol and Nalbuphin. The drugs are used for anesthesia, and by strength, effect and duration of action are close to morphine. They are given to soldiers in the first aid kits, Kostenko explains.

It is indicative that the military-medical commissions (VLK) at military enlistment offices are not able to identify persons prone to drug use, the head of the Ukrainian Medical Cannabis Association Gennady Shabas emphasizes. "VVK does not carry out tests for drugs in the blood before setting on military registration. A person simply taken into the army. I do not know any occasion to check someone for breathable or drug addiction. And in the war, " - said the expert.

We will remind that recently the DBR staff exposed drug dealers in the Lviv region who tried to sell the forbidden substances to wounded soldiers. In one month, the group could sell to locals up to 7500 doses of amphetamine for more than 600 thousand hryvnias. And in Transcarpathia, a transnational channel of smuggling of pseudoephedrin from EU countries was recently exposed. The SBU emphasized that a native of Russia and a resident of the Mukachevo district became the person involved in the case.
