Frontex warns of post-war arms trafficking from Ukraine

Frontex has reinforced its presence along Ukraine's western borders and is closely monitoring arms-smuggling dangers as the conflict continues, according to the agency's Deputy Executive Director Lars Gerdes. The European border security agency flagged the risk that weapons supplied to Ukraine during wartime could be diverted into criminal networks across Europe after fighting ends. Gerdes told German media that Frontex has strengthened operations to detect and prevent illegal weapons flows across EU entry points. The warning reflects growing concern among European security officials about post-conflict instability and transnational crime.
