According to Klimkin, Ukrainian sailors transport illegal migrants and will be punished for this in Greece. He also added that Ukrainian diplomats monitor the situation.

During the investigation and trial, each compatriot will be provided with lawyers and translators with knowledge of Ukrainian or Russian.

The Foreign Minister emphasizes that the absolute majority of the detainees deliberately went to the crime and realized that they are dealing with an international mafia.

"This is confirmed by the fact that none of them decided to tell where, how and who involved them in criminal activities and how the network of migrants is functioning," added Klimkin.

As previously reported, "URA-Inform," the guards of the border of the Kharkov detachment detained three foreigners violating the state border and their conductor-Ukrainian.
