Elements of the Ukrainian SALW Control System: Enforcement and penalties

There have been only a few reports of weapons seizures in Ukraine, and a couple of arrests and prosecutions for the violation of arms trade decrees. (208)…

Ukrainian officials believe the penalties allowed are appropriate and provide a strong deterrent. They argue that the few arrests and prosecutions that have occurred in Ukraine indicate little illegal activity rather than a lack of enforcement. (212)
