The European Union is voicing concern over the possibility of an increased firearms trafficking from the territory of Ukraine, intending to enforce preemptive measures, European Commissioner for Home Affairs Ylva Johansson said on Monday.
"We have some indications, but we also know by experience that this very often happens that firearms travel around afterwards or during (the conflict). And we know how many weapons there are in Ukraine and, of course, not all of them are in the right hands all the time. And that is why we need to be prepared for protecting ourselves from this," Johansson said in the doorstep remarks of the informal meeting of EU justice and home affairs ministers in Brussels.
She stressed that the bloc is willing to forestall the negative experience of increased firearms smuggling after the conflict in the former Yugoslavia.
