The war in Ukraine is forcing women into prostitution.
It appears from the police's latest operation "cod operation".
38 men were arrested during the operation at the end of March.
Of them, 30 had bought six from women from Ukraine.
- It's startling.
It can be clear from the ads that the women have recently come from Ukraine, but these men do not care, says Simon Häggström, police inspector.
"Very organized"
The Ukrainian women previously identified in police operations have often had previous experiences of prostitution.
Now you see a trend break.
- More or less all the women we spoke to state that it was the war that made them end up in prostitution.
You have no choice but to sell your body to help your families who are in Ukraine or who are on the run, says Simon Häggström.
Many of the women are said to have been lured into the sex trade through marketing on Ukrainian online forums, where they are offered money and accommodation to travel to Sweden and sell their bodies.
- Human traffickers attract with package solutions where you pay for travel and accommodation.
Then there are so-called operators who act as intermediaries between the women and the sex buyers.
Everything is very organized.
